BALTIMORE MARYLAND

Baltimore, a bustling city built on old tradition and civic pride, is
an American success story. Since the redevelopment of the Inner Harbor
in the late 1970s, Baltimore has set the standard for urban renewal and
is now a major travel destination welcoming nearly 13 million business
and leisure visitors each year.
The crown jewel of Baltimore is the Inner Harbor, a scenic and popular
waterfront area with dozens of retail stores, restaurants and
attractions. This, combined with Baltimore 's easy accessibility, makes
the city unique. What most people don't realize is that most sites and
neighborhoods are within walking distance of each other, and this makes
Charm City an ideal place for business as well as pleasure.
Baltimore 's growth continues today. Development is moving both east
and west of the Inner Harbor with more projects on the way. Baltimore
is currently enjoying a second renaissance with more than $3 billion in
new development planned.
