Nashville was ranked among the top 50 "adventure towns" in the U.S. by National Geographic. To determine this list, the magazine examined destinations with "an ideal mix of terrain, activity, and opportunity." Nashville's 10,500 acres of urban parks, combined with a hot dining, entertainment and professional sports scene, secured the city a spot alongside such cities as Chicago, Austin and Albuquerque.

International Business
Diverse industrial and farm products, coupled with the unparalleled entrepreneurial drive of Tennessee's international business community, keep Middle Tennessee on the leading edge of international business. From health care to industrial machinery, from automotive parts to music and entertainment, from whiskey to bibles, the region's rich commercial and agricultural offerings are in demand throughout the world.
The Nashville Area Chamber's overriding goal in international business is to generate job growth and economic development in Middle Tennessee by encouraging area companies to do business overseas. The Chamber's International Business Council is a network of international business leaders focused on expanding Middle Tennessee's global footprint through:
- Recruiting foreign direct investments;
- Becoming the information source for international business; and
- Connecting global companies with critical resources.
The Nashville Health Care Council and the Nashville Area Chamber have conducted seven Health Care Trade Missions: to Germany and the U.K. (1999), France and Spain (2000), Belgium and Italy (2002), the U.K. and the Netherlands (2003), Hungary and the Czech Republic (2004), Poland and Austria (2006) and Sweden and Germany (2008). An eighth Health Care Trade Mission to Santiago, Chile, and Buenos Aires, Argentina, is planned for November 2010.
