Orlando is nicknamed “The City Beautiful,” and its symbol is the fountain at Lake Eola. The current mayor is Buddy Dyer.

Except for Walt Disney World, most major attractions are located along International Drive. The city’s famous attractions form Orlando’s tourism industry’s backbone, making the city the most visited American city in 2009. The city is also one of the busiest American cities for conferences and conventions. Like other major cities in the Sun Belt, Orlando multiplied during the 1980s and well into the 21st century.
