Diplomarbeit aus dem Jahr 2009 im Fachbereich Tourismus - Sonstiges, Note: 1,7, Universität Trier, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Noch vor ungefähr 110 Jahren war Miami noch ein unbekannter und bedeutungsloser Fleck auf der Landkarte. Damals bestand das Gebiet am Miami River lediglich aus Zitronen- und Orangenplantagen sowie einem Handelsposten. Heute ist dieser Ort ein Gebirge aus Stahl und Glas, umgeben von breiten Schnellstraßen, gigantischen Brückenkonstruktionen, zahllosen Hotels und riesigen Apartmenthochhäusern. Zu Beginn des dritten Jahrtausends ist Miami eine beispiellose, tropicoole Stadt, die mit ihrem pulsierenden Leben, ihrem Image als Finanz- und Partymetropole, ihren unzähligen historischen und modernen Attraktionen sowie den weltberühmten Stränden nicht nur Millionen an Touristen aus der ganzen Welt anlockt, sondern auch die Wahlheimat für hunderte neuer Zuwanderer täglich darstellt.Moderner amerikanischer Charme in Verbindung mit kubanischer, karibischer und südamerikanischer Lebensfreude trägt zur positiven Wahrnehmung und dem interkulturellen Ambiente der Region bei. Die rasante Entwicklung der Großregion in den letzten Jahren ist nicht zuletzt ein Grund der erfolgreichen Tourismuswirtschaft, insbesondere des Kreuzfahrtmarktes, der der am schnellsten wachsende Sektor der amerikanischen Tourismusbranche ist. Nicht nur dank der Nähe zur Karibik und dem ganzjährlich guten Wetter zählt die Kreuzfahrtindustrie zu den wichtigsten und erfolgreichsten Wirtschaftszweigen in Miami.Es stellt sich die Frage, wie die Stadt Miami mit den jährlich aufs neue anwachsenden Touristenzahlen sowie dem noch immer steigenden Zuwachs an Zuwanderern umgeht und welche Auswirkungen diese Prozesse mit sich führen. Worin genau ist die Beliebtheit der Urlaubsdestination Miami und der Reisen auf dem Meer begründet? Welche Faktoren trieben die Entwicklung der Stadt Miami von einer unbedeutenden Obstplantage zu einer international bekannten und hypermodernen Metropole voran und welche Vor- und Nachteile resultierten daraus? Weiterhin soll der Einfluss der Stadtplanung geprüft und der Frage nachgegangen werden, welche Maßnahmen die Stadt sowie private Unternehmen treffen und getroffen haben, um den individuellen Stadtcharakter, das internationale Flair und die Stadtgestalt aufrechtzuerhalten, ein lebenswertes Umfeld für die Bewohner zu schaffen, das historische und kulturelle Erbe der Stadt zu bewahren, die negativen Folgeerscheinungen des Bevölkerungs- und Flächenwachstums zu minimieren und Miami konkurrenz- und zukunftsfähig zu gestalten.
