From the serene sunsets in Key West to the wild rides at Orlando’s theme parks, Florida’s appeal knows no bounds. The natural riches of the state encompass vast beaches and state parks brimming with spectacular scenery and wildlife, while its cultural attributes are on par—whether a world-class museum or local art gallery. A vibrant dining scene, a treasure trove of pampering resorts and spas, and a wealth of meetings venues also make for a robust group dynamic.
