International Visitors
Located near the main gate, SUN 'n FUN's international visitors center provides a "home away from home" for the hundreds of international visitors that come from around the globe to participate in one of the world's premier aviation events. Every year, 30 to 40 multi-lingual volunteers greet over 1,000 visitors representing more than 60 countries.
"At any given time, visitors may hear five to eight languages being spoken in the tent, including German, French, Portuguese, Spanish, and Japanese," says Michele Van Dorn, International Visitor Chairperson. As visitors register, they receive a collectors item trading pin, which is a much sought after souvenir. But, the center also provides assistance with everything from medical needs, hotel and transportation arrangements, and translation services. There is also a message board so international guests can post messages ranging from planes for sale to saying hello to someone they met last year.
The International Visitors' Center is a fun, exciting place to be so be sure to stop in and say hello.
