Tourism  
Chicago's multicultural heritage is reflected in its neighborhoods, which now attract thousands of visitors each year. Chicago is home to nearly three million people from all over the world including African Americans, Asians, Europeans, Hispanics, Native Americans and more.

As each new group has come to Chicago, their unique community spirit, typified by Chicago's motto "I will," has enabled them to build a new community, new life and new future. This spirit is responsible for a city that has never stopped dreaming, building, rebuilding, growing and making major contributions to the world.
