The event will begin at 12:00 pm at Visit Orlando’s Official Visitor Center located at 8102 International Drive Orlando, Florida 32819 then continue to the ICON Park Orlando where attendees will “hunt” for clues.

The scavenger hunt is sponsored in part by DMO’s (Destination Management Organizations) around the state. Visit Orlando, Visit Tampa, the St. Augustine TDC and Lee County VCB / The Beaches of Ft. Myers and Sanibel will be there to provide questions of their destination during the scavenger hunt. DMO’s will also be providing a $500 vacation package to winners. Winners will be drawn randomly from cards that are correctly completed during the scavenger hunt.

During the day, attendees will also be able to experience all the attractions at the ICON Park Orlando for free including the Wheel at ICON Park, Madame Tussaud’s Wax Museum, SEALIFE Aquarium, Skeletons Museum of Osteology and the Orlando Star Flyer as well as a special discount at the ICON Wheelhouse Market restaurants.

"Our goal is to promote the many things we have in Florida to our hospitality industry workers, and we are excited to be partnering with many of our DMO’s to offer this special event for the hardworking 'Ambassadors' of our state," states Keith Charlton, Director, Florida HIA.

Florida HIA is also partnering with the UCF’s Rosen College of Hospitality Management by offering students the opportunity to volunteer for the day. With their WTD 2019 job shadowing initiative, students will be there to shadow DMO’s as well as encourage attendees to engage and share the event on their social media outlets for a chance to win additional prizes.
