New Orleans is such a uniquely vibrant and wonderful city, and we have so much to be proud of here. But New Orleans would be a much different place without our leading industry of tourism, and the eager tourists that marvel at the things we get to enjoy on a daily basis are a constant reminder of what makes our city so special. Tourism benefits our city in so many different ways, including helping us to preserve our culture and helping us to grow our cultural assets.
