Experience Kissimmee

This vibrant Florida destination offers family-friendly attractions, accessible experiences, and nature adventures, making it perfect for all travelers.

About Our Destination
Experience Kissimmee is the official tourism authority for Osceola County, Florida. We promote the destination domestically and around the world to leisure, business, and sports travelers. Our team creates and implements sales, marketing, and communications plans that contribute to 9+ million overnight guests each year. Our goal is to promote our popular Central Florida destination as a top vacation spot by positioning Kissimmee as the perfect getaway for the family.

Impact
Kissimmee is a “must-visit!” destination catering to a wide variety of individuals. Several of Central Florida’s attractions have been named Certified Autism Centers, such as LEGOLAND® Florida Resort, Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex, and others. Plus, visitors can enjoy other wheelchair-accessible rides and sensory-friendly experiences at Walt Disney World® Resort and Universal Orlando Resort. Nature enthusiasts will be delighted to find wheelchair-accessible trails, ziplines, and wildlife encounters that showcase the beauty of Central Florida’s natural wonders. As an organization, Experience Kissimmee stays at the forefront of meaningful initiatives including sustainability and community relations. For example, as part of our incentives to qualified meeting organizations we offer a tree-planting component through our Trees4Travel partnership, including one tree planted per actualized paid room night. Staff travel is also offset by new trees planted under the same partnership. Additionally, each year as part of our Charitable Support Program, Experience Kissimmee identifies a non-profit charitable recipient to receive certain benefits, such as the funds collected from our Golf Classic event (more than $23,000 in 2023). Another way EK celebrates and supports the community is through the administration of the Tourism Enhancement Grants Program, which offers funding assistance to nonprofit or local government businesses who develop and stage special events in Osceola County. Over the years, events such as Kissimmee’s Kowtown Festival, Viva Osceola, the Puerto Rican Festival & Parade, the Statewide Ranch Rodeo Finals & Cowboy Heritage Festival, and the Caribbean Fusion Festival have all received marketing funding assistance.
