This international city is located in southern Florida between the Atlantic Ocean and the Everglades. Miami boasts being the host of the Latin American Headquarters for major international corporations. Miami is also the frequent business center for a number of Latin American leaders who use the city as a strategic entry port that connects Latin America to the US. The Miami metropolitan area is also a center for banking, fashion, music, Spanish-language TV and film production, and the largest cruise ship port in the world.
