"Florida is the center of the U.S. travel movie studio tours and tourism industry – this move enables us to be closer to leisure and business customers, as well as many travel and association partners. As part of this move, we will open off-airport and retail car sales stores on our headquarters campus, which will enable us to experiment with new services and monitor customer movie studio tours satisfaction first hand.

The relocation results in a positive financial return to the company and we will provide more details during our next quarterly earnings call.
