Washington D.C
The District: ‘DC’ stands for ‘District of Columbia’, not a State but an administrative district created specifically to avoid having the capital city in any one State. Washington, DC is a city of green parks, wide tree-lined streets, white marble buildings and, surprising for a US city, no skyscrapers, which gives it a more European air. It is the centre for visiting diplomats and has the fourth-largest concentration of hotel and motel rooms in the country.
Tourism is the leading private industry and business interests are increasingly attracted by the many light-industrial, high-tech and research companies now moving into the region. The ‘Metro area’ (population: 5.4 million) refers to the District of Columbia and surrounding counties and cities in Maryland and Virginia.
