Asian American Chamber of Commerce of Central Florida Endorses The Orlando Dreamers’ Mission

The Orlando Dreamers add another endorsement to the long, growing list of people and organizations that support their effort to bring Major League Baseball to Central Florida. This time, it's the Asian American Chamber of Commerce of Central Florida (AACC) that is endorsing the Orlando Dreamers.

Thomas Lin, President of the AACC, wrote:

I am writing to endorse the Orlando Dreamers’ business, in their efforts to establish a professional Major League Baseball team in Orange County Florida. 

The Orlando Dreamers’ administrative team encompasses expertise, dedication, and innovative approaches, to achieve their visionary plans.

I am confident that they will provide exceptional value to our residents and make a positive impact on our community, by creating jobs, offering unique services, and supporting local initiatives.

Their professional commitment to quality reflects their readiness to succeed and contribute meaningfully to our tourism economy.

The Asian American Chamber of Commerce of Central Florida supports the Orlando Dreamers plans in their ability to deliver positive results, in bringing Major League Baseball sports to Orange County Florida. 

The endorsement from the AACC follows a recent statement of support from Visit Orlando, the official tourism trade association that brands, markets and sells the Orlando destination globally.

Additionally, a myriad of city, county and state leaders have chimed in with support for the Dreamers. Orange County commissioner Michael “Mike” Scott recently reaffirmed his endorsement of the Dreamers; State Representative and City of Orlando mayoral candidate Anna Eskamani offered her wholehearted support for the Dreamers; Orange County mayor, Jerry Demings, made clear in May that he supports bringing professional baseball to Orange County while speaking at the Visit Orlando luncheon during the National Travel & Tourism Week event celebrating the fact that the Orlando area attracted a record-breaking 76.7 million visitors in 2025; and in December when the MLB Winter Meetings were in Orlando, U.S. Congressman and Florida gubernatorial candidate Byron Donalds tweeted his support of Orlando as “the next great MLB city.”

The Orlando Dreamers recently announced that announced that updated economic impact data from JLL, the major independent consulting firm that completed the Dreamers’ initial study in 2023, indicates the Dreamers' project will provide even more economic impact than originally estimated. According to the updated study, bringing Major League Baseball to Orlando and playing in the Dreamers’ designed stadium, along with other planned construction on the site, will generate for Orange County:

• In excess of 38,000 jobs during the construction phase

• More than 52,000 permanent jobs

• Economic impact over 30 years of more than $72 billion

• An average of an additional $32 million of annual Tourist Development Tax (“TDT”) revenues

Orlando is the #15 media market in the country, having passed Miami, Denver, and Minneapolis-St. Paul in recent years. It is anticipated that Orlando will pass Detroit soon to become the #14 media market, the largest without an MLB team. Meanwhile, tourism continues to surge, including meaningfully increased travel resulting from the 2025 opening of the Epic Universe theme park located a short distance from the Dreamers’ preferred stadium site. The Orlando metro area, the most-visited destination in North America, welcomed almost 80 million tourists in 2025, and revenues from the Tourist Development Tax have set records for the most recent 14 consecutive months.
