The Power of Tourism in New Orleans
Tourism is the most powerful economic force in New Orleans and 70,000 citizens – from bellmen to chefs, artists, musicians, street performers, taxi drivers and more – depend upon the industry for their living. In fact, one out of every 12 people in Louisiana is employed in the tourism industry. Please read Power of Tourism for more information and statistics on this $5 billion industry and the New Orleans CVB efforts to drive it forward.
