In recent years, tourism spaces are changing along with the diversification of the concept of “Tourism”. Subsequently, there is a considerable attention on research focused on capital city tourism. This paper reveals the city of Georgetown in Washington, D.C. as the research target area. Georgetown is a prestigious residential area and a Business Improvement District (BID). There are two commercial corridors, M Street and Wisconsin Avenue, which contain high-end fashion stores, restaurants and bars. The research identifies the difference in commercial concepts of the two streets by analyzing the geographical features and transportation facilities of the two streets. M Street consists of a high variety of business categories targeting different types of people such as tourists, while Wisconsin Avenue has limited business categories with a specific target market such as local residents.
