Read the following passage from the National Park Service about Baltimore, Maryland, which is a National Heritage Area.
Baltimore is an industrial city that has gone through 30 years of challenging decline, but is re-emerging due to its thriving medical and education institutions. The city is in a recovery phase and with improvements to its core urban issues, some focus has been able to be shifted, making it more attractive as a tourist destination. The city’s most viable tourism hot spot is the Inner Harbor, and with support from the Baltimore National Heritage Area (BNHA), the neighborhoods surrounding the harbor have been made more accessible, in turn allowing for this area’s rich history to be shared by visitors and residents alike.
