The Medical City at Lake Nona is fast becoming the newest attraction of Orlando's tourism industry.

With biotech research outfit Burnham Institute, the Veterans Hospital and the University of Central Florida's medical school about to come to fruition, officials are pitching Orlando as the ideal destination for medical conventions and medical tourism.

From expert speakers to medical-training facilities and high-end hotel rooms, officials say Orlando has what it takes to draw health-care conferences -- and the thousands of doctors and medical professionals that come with them.

"We've got a lot of great infrastructure coming in," said Gary Sain, chief executive officer of the Orlando/Orange County Convention & Visitors Bureau. "Obviously, we've got competition and obviously we've got some things we need to do."
