Huntsville earned the nickname Rocket City when Wernher von Braun’s team developed the rockets of the early space program here, and NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center at Redstone Arsenal remains the heart of the local economy. Alongside it are Army commands, defense contractors and engineering firms, Cummings Research Park, one of the largest research parks in the country, and the HudsonAlpha Institute for Biotechnology. Automotive manufacturing has grown quickly in the area, and Huntsville has become one of the largest cities in Alabama.

With so much government and contractor business, Huntsville sees a steady flow of travelers coming from Washington, Texas, Colorado and Florida, often on tight schedules. Flying private into Huntsville International, or the smaller Madison County Executive Airport north of the city, lets teams arrive for a morning meeting and fly home in the evening. Off duty, visitors come for the U.S. Space & Rocket Center and its Saturn V, the trails of Monte Sano State Park, a thriving craft beer and arts scene and the Tennessee River towns nearby.
