Dramatically situated 1.6km (one mile) above sea level on the Colorado Plains, with the Rocky Mountains soaring to 4,200m (14,000ft) in the background, Denver, known as ‘the Mile High City’, lies at the geographical centre of America, midway between Mexico and Canada. It is a major transport hub where highways and railways converge and its international airport has become a focus of worldwide trade. In-comers make up over 60% of the population, attracted by the lack of crowds, friendly people, a good lifestyle and a mild climate. With over 300 days of bright sunshine each year, Denver outshines San Diego and Miami Beach.
Denver is expanding at a phenomenal pace. Since 1990, the city’s population has increased by nearly 30%, making it the 20th largest metro area in the country. The Colorado Convention Center, located Downtown, is undergoing a major expansion that will double its exhibition space by 2004. This, along with new hotel development, will bring new business to the city.

Denver International (DEN) (website: www.flydenver.com) is one of the largest airports in the world. It covers 137 sq km (53 sq miles), which is twice the size of Manhattan Island.
