I am . . . a Tourism Related Business

the Coughlin.Saunders Performing Arts Center, Alexandria, LA

"By inducing tourists to extend their stay in Louisiana by one day, or by enticing people to visit Louisiana at a different time of the year, Broadway South ensures that the economic benefit from tourism does not result in a transfer of funds from one industry sector to another, but instead creates new revenue flows."
Natasha A. Hamilton, John F. Kennedy School of Government, Harvard University, Business Plan for the Redevelopment of Canal Street in Downtown New Orleans into a Performing Arts District

The Broadway South initiative will jump start Louisiana tourism while creating thousands of permanent new jobs and sustaining established statewide businesses. From plantation tour operators in St. Francisville to strawberry farmers in Pontchatoula, from lumber providers in Coushatta to shrimp fishermen in Grand Isle, to Louisiana Iris farmers and Cajun caterers in Lafayette–all will see their businesses expand if the Broadway South initiative is successful in establishing Louisiana as the definitive cultural destination of the Deep South. Broadway South means healthy new business in the state of Louisiana.
