The Tampa Bay area is proud of the strides it has made in working toward creating a culture of inclusion. As a result there are broader opportunities for women and minorities in business in the Bay area. The city understands that "businesses that embrace diversity will attract the best talent, appeal to most customers, and be best positioned to prosper".
A veritable Melting Pot of ethnic and religious groups, the influences of these diverse populations can be found throughout the communities in the Bay area. Tampa Bay celebrates its diverse population with such events as the Hispanic Heritage Festival, the Clearwater Jazz Festival, the Tampa Black Heritage Festival and the Tampa International Gay and Lesbian Film Festival, among many other cultural events. There are great museums, including the Tampa Museum of Art, the African Art Gallery, Museum of Science and Industry, Ringling Museum, and the Salvador Dali Museum, just to name a few.
