Without tourism, New Orleans – and Louisiana – would be unrecognizable.
Visitor spending in New Orleans creates tax revenue, not only for the city, but for the entire state of Louisiana.
Dollars spent by visitors keep businesses open and provide consistent employment for 1 in 6 working people in Greater New Orleans.
Every family in Louisiana would pay thousands of dollars more in annual taxes without the funds generated by New Orleans’ Travel & Hospitality industry.
Think about this:
- Travel & Hospitality uplifts the economy, invests in infrastructure, instills civic pride, and creates diverse career opportunities.
- Dollars spent by visitors keep businesses open and provide consistent employment.
- Visitor spending generates tax revenue that supports public entities, including fire and emergency services, museums and historic sites, world-famous festivals like Mardi Gras, the streetcars and buses as well as contributes to City and State operating costs.
- Every family in Louisiana would pay thousands of dollars more in annual taxes without the funds generated by New Orleans’ Travel & Hospitality industry.
- The city’s abundance of offerings — world-class restaurants, attractions, museums, and music venues — outnumber and often outshine those found in bigger U.S. cities with greater financial support and resources.
- Travel & Hospitality supports the livelihoods of 1 in 6 working people in Greater New Orleans.
