Tourism  
From its beginning just over 100 years ago, Miami billed itself as a travel destination: Its first motto was "America's sun porch." Warm weather, sandy beaches and bright sunshine were its selling points then, and they remain a potent draw today. But America's sun porch has allure far beyond the U.S. People from all over the Caribbean and Latin America have settled there in the past 40 years, giving the city a new nickname, "the capital of the Western Hemisphere." As much as we love Miami's warm-weather fun, it's the city's lively, international character that sets it apart from many other travel destinations.
