Greater Orlando is a tapestry of individual cities and towns, each with their own distinctive flavor and identity. In fact, of Metro Orlando's 1.5 million population only 180,000 actually live in Orlando proper, meaning the vast majority live in one of dozens of cities comprising Greater Orlando. In fact, from 1992-1997 Orlando was the 3rd fastest-growing metropolitan area in the country and is the number one tourist destination in the world. And lest one think that O-town lives and dies with tourism, it should be noted that Orlando is a leader in Electro-Optics, simulation technology and film production. |
