The "Emerald City" Seattle is captured from the MarQueen Hotel which is located in the heart of the vibrant and upscale Queen Anne district adjacent to downtown Seattle. This bustling neighborhood is also home to the theatre district, the key arena as well as the Space Needle, which was built for the "Century 21 Exposition" in 1962. Seattle is one of the most liveable cities in the USA.

Geographic Information

As the world's third largest country, the landscape in the United States varies greatly: temperate forestland on the East coast, mangrove forests in Florida, the Great Plains in the center of the country, the Mississippi-Missouri river system, the Rocky Mountains west of the plains, deserts and temperate coastal zones west of the Rocky Mountains and rainforests in the Pacific Northwest. The arctic regions of Alaska and the volcanic islands of Hawaii only increase the geographic and climatic diversity.

Key aspects of tourism
Tourism in the USA is as various as the country itself: city trips to New York or L.A., beach holidays in Florida or California or the wonders of nature (Niagara Falls, Rocky Mountains) are possible tourist destinations.
