Letter from Orlando CVB


April 19, 2010

We have been following the unprecedented events that have forced the closure of European Air space. In our community, we have stranded travelers that have been trying to return home since Wednesday, April 14.

The Orlando/Orange County CVB would like to ask for your cooperation in assisting European travelers, by offering discounts and free admission to any United Kingdom, Irish or Continental European tourists stranded in Florida due to the interruption in international air travel caused by Icelandic volcanic ash.

Please consider offering discounts to these stranded visitors. Your help will go a long way in showing our compassion and customer service.

As proof of travelers being affected, you can ask to see their return flight ticket from Wednesday, April 14, 2010, through Wednesday, April 21, 2010, or until normal flight schedules resume.

Please reply to this communication stating what your hotel / attraction / restaurant can offer. The Orlando/Orange County CVB will communicate the information you provide to European tour operators, airlines and provide a special section on our Web site with the information.

Please send your special offer to brian.martin@orlandocvb.com.

Thank you for your help and assistance.


Warm Regards,

Gary C. Sain
President & CEO
Orlando/Orange County Convention & Visitors Bureau, Inc.
