DEAR FLORIDA TRAVELER:

On behalf of VISIT FLORIDA - the state’s official tourism marketing corporation - and the more than one million residents employed in the Florida tourism industry, I would like to welcome our Chinese visitors to the Sunshine State.

Whether you have already arrived or are just beginning to plan your next Florida vacation, Lina Yu’s Around the World with Close Friends is an excellent resource on all things Florida. Written from a female Chinese traveler’s point of view, this guide is the first of its kind - designed to introduce Chinese tourists not only to Florida, but to American culture, as well. With so much to see and do in Florida, Lina does a wonderful job of providing first-hand travel tips on everything from attractions to shopping and dining to what to pack and how best to get around the state. Whether your favorite Sunshine State getaway includes a sunset walk along one of Florida’s 825 miles of beautiful beaches, a visit to one of our world-famous amusement parks, a golf or boating outing, or just a day in the sun, I trust your stay will be an unforgettable one.

With the assistance of highly-personalized and readable travel guides like this one, it is my hope that more and more Chinese travelers will become aware of the diverse colorful traditions and great mix of cultures to be explored here in the Sunshine State. To learn even more about the places and activities detailed in Around the World with Close Friends, I invite you to visit Florida’s official source for travel planning at www.VISITFLORIDA.com.cn.

Come create memories that will last a lifetime and enjoy the warm hospitality of the Sunshine State!

Regards,

Chris Thompson
President and CEO, VISIT FLORIDA
