Travel to the Sunshine State

Half a millennium after the area was named "Feast of Flowers" by Ponce de Leon in honor of the Eastertime celebration, Florida continues to draw millions of visitors from all over the world. Guests come to relax in the sun and to be entertained by the state's myriad attractions. One of the world's premiere tourist destinations, Orlando, is readily accessible by air or car.

International visitors should be aware that the United States has updated its laws governing visitor entry and exit following the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. For more information about U.S. visas, visit http://www.unitedstatesvisas.gov/index.html.
