About Tampa
Florida Gulf coast city on a large sheltered bay, with a cigar-making and Cuban immigrant history. Shipping, phosphate exports and tourism support it.
Population about 2,780,000 at the game's 2010 snapshot.
Tampa is a leisure market: most of its traffic is going on holiday, which rewards big aircraft on fewer flights.
