Dallas/Fort Worth is the #1 tourist destination in Texas, welcoming more than 20 million visitors each year - more visited than San Antonio, Austin or Houston. DFW also ranks as the top business destination in Texas and second most popular convention site in the country. North Texas is the nation’s 4th largest metropolitan area behind New YoYork, Los Angeles, and Chicago with an estimated population of 6.6 million. Our region is considered to be subtropical which means we enjoy beautiful spring and fall weather with warm to hot summers and mild winters. Being located approximately 500 miles north of the Gulf of Mexico, we don’t get as humid as the cities to the south. Our region’s central location attattracts national and international business. In fact, DFW has the most corporate headquarters in the United States.
