About Houston
Rated as a beta world city, Houston's economy has a broad industrial base in the energy, manufacturing, aeronautics, transportation, and health care sectors and is a leading center for building
oilfield equipment; only New York City is home to more Fortune 500 headquarters in the city limits. The Port of Houston ranks first in the United States in international waterborne tonnage handled
and second in total cargo tonnage handled. The city has a population from various ethnic and religious backgrounds and a large and growing international community. It is home to many cultural
institutions and exhibits—attracting more than 7 million visitors a year to the Houston Museum District. Houston has an active visual and performing arts scene in the Theater District and is one
of few U.S. cities that offer year-round resident companies in all major performing arts.
Houston, a city known as the Energy Capital of the World, is also a progressive city where environmental initiatives
abound. It's entirely possible for visitors to take a completely green trip to Houston - even down to the visitors guide.
