The ‘Visit Orlando’ tourism board was very pleased with its US Open campaign, which included on-court signage and a booth on site at the tournament.

The organization described the campaign as a success on its newsletter, saying, “Visit Orlando engaged with the 700,000-plus attendees by inviting them into an interactive booth, as well as showcasing the brand via a courtside logo to more than 200 countries.”

It became the official global tourism partner of the tournament a year ago, with the CEO of Visit Orlando, announcing the deal, describing the partnership as a way to reach “potential travelers in all of our key markets.”

The sponsorship is also tied to the USTA’s recent move to build a $60 million facility in the region, linking the two together.

Tourism is a $60 billion industry in Orlando, with the campaign aimed at drawing even more visitors to the popular destination in Florida. The new tennis facility is to have more than 100 courts.
