Create Culturally Enlightening Programs with a DMC
No one wants to travel to a stagnant place. We want to experience destinations with complex cultures, foods, and histories. We seek adventure in destinations that continue to change and show us new faces of humanity. However, these complex destinations come with both rewarding experiences and somewhat challenging obstacles, which is why you need a native navigator.
The last 10 years took our intricate web of history and culture in New Orleans, and made it sparkle with today’s innovation. While we cherish and celebrate our storied past, our city has changed tremendously in the past 10 years showing no signs of slowing. The restaurant scene has grown by 11 percent since Hurricane Katrina, adding 237 new restaurants since 2005, according to the Census Bureau. And New Orleans has become a hub of young entrepreneurs, with New Orleans startups forming at a per-capita rate 64 percent higher than the national average from 2011 to 2013. This growth has attracted some impressive technology conferences – just this month the city hosted Microsoft’s Envision Conference and Collision Conference going on now (with the great catch phrase “Come for Collision. Stay for JazzFest.”).
This type of growth brings new dynamics, more options to sift through, vendors to investigate, and in some cases new rules to adhere. How does one choose between a classic French dinner in the Quarter and a James Beard Award winning dinner Uptown? And with all the growth, how does one find the talented local veterans of the event world? And what about new permitting regulations?
The answer is simple; hire a DMC to navigate these questions and to steer you in the right direction for a culturally enlightening and seamless program. We not only know the 300 years of history, but we have our hand on the pulse of New Orleans. We know every new restaurant, venue, park, and festival. We understand the delicate nuances of the city at all times throughout the year. We navigate the complicated, so that you and your group can enjoy every intricate detail of New Orleans!
