ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — It’s an idea that almost seems as compatible as Mickey and Minnie.

The quasi-public agencies that promote tourism and economic development in Orlando on Monday announced they’re joining forces to market the region together under a single brand. Meanwhile, officials say Orlando had 59.3 million tourists in 2021, or almost 80% of its pre-pandemic visitor numbers.
