Episode 289: This episode supported by USAE News! This week I spoke with Walt Leger, President & CEO of New Orleans & Company. Walt is a native of New Orleans and shares his love for this beautiful city, its long history and its bright future. New Orleans has something for everyone including: world-class cuisine, a vibrant artists' community, a convention center that is retooling for the future, a renowned World War II Museum, City Park for family fun, and major events that include sports, music, and even Pokemon! (I didn't even know Pokemon was still a thing.) We also discuss the city's people and how they always have time to be friendly and welcoming to visitors. As Walt shares in our talk, "New Orleans exists in the imagination of so many people in so many ways. I call it magical because I do think it's a magical place that's not like everywhere else." Listen to this fascinating episode about one of the world's most popular cities and get an insider's view on why this should be on your list to visit. There's more to this exciting city than Mardi Gras. What do you think of when you think of New Orleans? Share a comment!
