Don't Count'em Out
The tragedy of Katrina is mind blowing and my heart goes out to all that lived through it. The importance and power of tourism was brought home today because of an e-mail I got from the New Orleans Tourism Marketing Commission.
Here are the facts:
· Tourism produces $9 Billion in economic activity in Louisiana every year.
· New Orleans brings in 45.9 % of that.
· Now more than ever Louisiana is open for business.
The point they want to get across is that the unaffected areas need business to the benefit of the whole state!
Last year I had a great trip to the SW part of the state that was just fantastic. I went to several great Mardi Gras events in Lake Charles and Jeff Davis Parish. Here is a link to the article in GoNOMAD. After sending some cash to one of the numerous relief agencies, book a trip and see what others are now seeing. The warm wonderful people of Louisiana.
