Quick Thought: New Orleans Tourism + General Tourism Commericials

We were playing “Words with Friends” when we keep seeing this video being muted. Curious, we unmuted it and it’s a New Orleans commericial.

What makes this real interesting is that… the New Orleans tourism videos (when we look deeper into it) skips what is New Orleans is suppose to be known for… Black people traditions and culture. Sure, there are videos that features Black traditions (including a Jazz Club), but without this woman.

This woman is basically the spokesperson, making New Orleans a friendly place for the family as well as an adult vacation spot.

We understand that the tourism department is attempting to NoLA a spot for the “general public”, but this is New Orleans!
