I have learned that there are two types of travelers in the world: those who can’t wait to visit New Orleans for the first time and those who can’t wait to come back." - Walt Leger III, CEO of New Orleans & Company Read more about why tourism is economic development here in New Orleans in Walt's op-ed in Biz New Orleans!

“Tourism drives our economy, boosts infrastructure, instills civic pride and provides lifelong career opportunities. The things that make our city an attractive place to visit can also make it an attractive place to live, work and invest.” AMEN Walt Leger!
