Statistics issued last week by the Organization of marketing Visit Orlando also indicate a growth in the year 2006 to 2010 in the popularity of the Orlando Metropolitan area as a destination for pleasure travel and business (see graphic).

"Although the decision of the SPI change the NPE2012 of Chicago, headquarters of the NEP for a long time, was primarily based on the substantial economic and logistical advantages for exhibitors and visitors, the new information from Visit Orlando confirms our conviction that the abundance of holiday attractions and pleasure in Orlando will provide an exciting additional benefit to the participants of the NPE2012", said Gene Sanders, senior Vice President of the SPI in charge of exhibitions and congresses.

The classification in the first place of Orlando is based on national statistics created by D.K.
