Vacation Rentals Still Available for International Builders Show
ORLANDO, FL—Vacation rentals are still available at the Encantada and Bellavida Resorts for conventioneers looking for an alternative to International Drive hotels while attending the International Builders’ Show at the Orange County Convention Center February 13 -16, 2008.
As the single most important building industry event in the nation, the 64th annual International Builders’ Show is also one of the largest conventions in Orlando, with an expected 1,800 exhibitors and 105,000 attendees. The event’s popularity brings large crowds and heavy traffic to the tourist district along Orlando’s International Drive.
According to Sunil Govind, president of the travel Web site Orlandoescape.com, vacation rentals are becoming an increasingly popular option for Orlando visitors who want a relaxed atmosphere and easy access to the Orange County Convention Center as well as other local attractions.
“The International Builders’ Show is a real event for the city of Orlando, but even local residents try to avoid the congestion along International Drive when that convention comes into town,” said Govind. “The resort communities of Encantada and Bellavida are only a few minutes away from the Convention Center and offer all the comforts of home.”
Both Encantada and Bellavida are located in Kissimmee, Florida, just minutes away from International Drive, Walt Disney World, and other local attractions such as Universal Studios/Islands of Adventure, SeaWorld, and Discovery Cove. The vacation rental townhomes available at the Encantada and Bellavida Resorts include the spacious 4 bedroom/3 bathroom Tall Palms model or the cozy 3 bedroom/2 ½ bathroom Sunrise plan.
