ORLANDO, Fla. — Editor’s note: This story is available as a result of a content partnership between WFTV and the Orlando Business Journal.

The company behind SeaWorld in recent years has announced plans for two hotels adjacent its theme parks — and there’s more development to come, with the potential to expand beyond hospitality.

United Parks & Resorts Inc. (NYSE: PRKS), the parent company of SeaWorld Orlando, previously has confirmed its Central Florida parks will be the initial focus for the company’s on-site hotels.

The company also owns more than 2,000 acres of real estate in what CEO Marc Swanson described during a May 12 investor call as “desirable” locations. This includes approximately 400 acres of undeveloped land adjacent its parks in Orlando.
