The news from the state's chief tourism booster that the number of tourists and the money they spend are trending in the right direction. Even lingering effects from hurricanes and the 2010 offshore oil spill are serious.
New Orleans will host some tournament in 2012. That means we have done a lot very well. If the 2012 projections hold, we will have the strongest tourism. It's slow, steady increases. It's sustainable.

ReplyDeleteFor those of us who have lived here for awhile, this is GREAT news! After Hurricane Katrina, we were not positive that tourists would come back. 7 years later, it looks like tourists are here to stay! This article was a good choice!
