Corporate Travel Destinations

Meeting and incentive travel planners have many destinations from which to choose for hosting your event; however, there are some that stand out among the options as ideal choices for a variety of reasons. For example, New Orleans is a hotspot for travel these days, particularly among those who understand the importance of tourism dollars to the revitalization of the city as it continues to recover from Hurricane Katrina.

New Orleans has managed to retain and regain much of its charm, and is home to historical and cultural attractions that appeal to travelers in every age group. Historic hotels, museums, antebellum homes and jazz clubs are plentiful, as are exceptional dining and entertainment options. With a business community that is dedicated to restoring New Orleans to its former glory, enticing meeting and incentive packages are readily available. This allows companies to enjoy an exciting destination, while also showing their support for this resilient community and its renaissance.

New Orleans attractions include the Audubon Zoo, the Aquarium of the Americas, Mardi Gras World, swamp tours and the World War II Museum. There are also many free, family-friendly attractions available, such as walking tours of the French Quarter, dedicated evenings for free admission to galleries in the Arts District and enjoying artists’ works and free shows in Jackson Square.

Support the revival of New Orleans and offer attendees an exciting travel destination by incorporating New Orleans into your meeting and incentive planning.
