Tourism in New Orleans has undergone a resurgence this year and for the first five months of 2010, we ranked among the top U.S. destinations. We must continue the momentum because tourism, a perception driven industry, does not just happen. It is the result of carefully plotted brand and marketing strategies.

Following is a link to our ad campaign designed to mitigate brand damage, dispel myths and preserve New Orleans' five billion dollar tourism industry. www.neworleanscvb.com/static/index.cfm?contentID=1424
