A city on the run for the top

Vibrant and alive, Atlanta is booming. You can see it in the ever-changing downtown Atlanta skyline. Condominium developments appear to spring up overnight. Office and residential towers have risen throughout the Midtown, Downtown, and outer perimeter business districts. The city is building on a thriving environment. Plans are also underway to transform Buckhead into the Rodeo Drive of the South.

As convenient as it is exciting, Atlanta is a transportation hub. The city now serves the world through Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport. It serves nearly 89 million passengers annually. Direct flights to Europe, South America, Africa, and Asia have made Atlanta easily accessible to the more than 50 countries that have representation in the city through consulates, trade offices, and chambers of commerce. Atlanta is the world headquarters for such Fortune 500 companies as Home Depot, Coca-Cola, United Parcel Service, and SunTrust Banks.

Atlanta is the shining New South, a fast-paced modern city proud of its heritage. Transplanted Northerners and those from elsewhere account for more than half the population and have undeniably affected the mood of the city, as well as the mix of accents of its people. Irish immigrants played a major role in the city's early history, along with Germans and Austrians. Since the 1980s, Atlanta has seen spirited growth in its Asian and Latin-American communities. It all blends together perfectly to deliver an experience rich in diversity, flavor, and excitement.
