Like its symbol, the legendary phoenix of Egyptian mythology, Atlanta rose from the ashes with renewed strength and beauty. Following the destruction during the Civil War, Atlanta became the mecca of the new South, and today is an exciting international city.

Much has been accomplished in the last 25 years to elevate Atlanta to world-class status. An efficient public transportation system, MARTA (Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority), was put in place; Underground Atlanta was added to the entertainment map; the Georgia World Congress Center made the city a convention hub; the Georgia Dome was built in 1992; and Philips Arena was built in 1999. In 1996, The Olympics served as a catalyst for a second resurgence of Atlanta as it dramatically transforms from great American city to greater international city by launching more than $2 billion in new construction projects and other changes.

The capital and most populous city in the state of Georgia as well as the urban core of one of the fastest growing metropolitan areas in the United States. Internationally known as a top business city and transportation hub, Atlanta has the nation's third largest concentration of Fortune 500 companies, and more than 75% of the Fortune 1000 companies have a presence in the Atlanta metropolitan area. Atlanta features an emerging downtown, southern hospitality and some of the best convention and meeting facilities in the nation. Read More >
