New Orleans - Visitor numbers continue to climb



A study recently released by the Universtiy of New Orleans Hospitality Research Center found that the number of visitors to New Orleans increased to 7.6 million in 2008, up from 7.1 million in 2007, with spending levels rising to $ 5.1 billion from $ 4.8 billion over the same period. The average stay for overnight guests increased to 4.6 nights in 2008, from 3.8 in 2007.

I was just in New Orleans for a cruise in November 2009. I went a day early and stayed 2 extra days. I had time to walk the town, shop, see historical sights and eat at some great locations. Have you been to New Orleans lately ? Please share your experiences.
