Florida is a state located in the southeastern region of the United States. Tourism makes up the largest sector of the state economy. Warm weather and hundreds of miles of beaches attract about 60 million visitors to the state every year. Amusement parks, especially in the Orlando area, make up a significant portion of tourism. The Walt Disney World Resort is the largest vacation resort in the world, consisting of four theme parks and more than 20 hotels in Lake Buena Vista, Florida, and Universal Orlando Resort, Busch Gardens, SeaWorld, and other major parks drive state tourism.
The second largest industry is agriculture. Citrus fruit, especially oranges, are a major part of the economy, and Florida produces the majority of citrus fruit grown in the U.S. In addition, the state has seen a recent boom in medical and bio-tech industries throughout its major metropolitan areas.
