           FLORIDA
==============================

THE main place for the UK
tourist in the 1990`s has to
be Disneyworld, Orlando,
Florida.

Disneyworld and its attendant
theme areas is now the
greatest crowd puller in the
world.

Florida is quickly becoming a
state of theme leisure parks.

Sights to see in Florida are:

Disneyworld
Orlando (The Magic Kingdom)
Circus World
Kennedy Space centre
Daytona Beach
Busch Gardens
Sea World
Epcot Centre
Cypress Gardens
amongst others ....

A good idea for Florida
holidays is the two centre
option, with a week in Orlando
at Disney coupled with a weeks
beach holiday, the best of
which is a week in the Tampa
Bay area.

Entrance to Disney for a
family of four averages about
$100 a day and three and five
day passes can be purchased.

Foreign Office Advice:

Around 800,000 British
tourists visit each year. The
vast majority of encounter no
difficulty. But visitor should
be aware that there have been
murders of tourists of various
nationalities in the past
year, and take the following
precautions;

1) Do not pick up the hire car
at the airport at night. Take
a taxi to the hotel. Collect
the car in town the next day.

2) If collecting the car at
the airport in daylight, make
sure you get good maps and
clear directions from the
rental company. Stay on main
highways. Use well lit car
parks. The presence of a
single attendant is unlikely
to help in an emergency.

3) Miami police advice is not
to stop if your car is bumped
from behind but to indicate to
the other driver to follow
you. Drive to the nearest
public area, hotel or busy
shopping precinct and call for
police assistance.

4) Be vigilant at all times.
Be on the look-out for
suspicious persons when
returning to your car or hotel
especially at night. Seek help
as soon as you feel
threatened. Always err on the
side of caution.

5) Use proper, organised
accommodation. Do not sleep in
your car particularly in rest
areas on highways or in
isolated areas. If camping,
check on camp-site security
arrangements. If not adequate,
do not stay there.

6) Carry the minimum of cash
when moving around. Leave
valuables in the hotel.

7) The Florida authorities
provide advice on routes to
take and the locations of
guarded rest areas etc. on
