Southwest Airlines has been serving New Orleans for 27 years. We are part of this community, and we will continue to be a partner in the rebuilding of New Orleans tourism .

The business of New Orleans is tourism, and New Orleans has got to get back to business. There's all this talk about bringing people back to New Orleans, but without tourism there won't be any jobs for them to come home to.

I want to see corporations signing up for conventions, I want to see people coming to visit New Orleans to help us rebound our economy.

Our Customer's demand for travel to and from New Orleans is strong, and we are pleased to support New Orleans by adding more flights. With the addition of these six New Orleans flights, Southwest Airlines will offer 24 daily nonstop flights from New Orleans to ten cities, including Chicago Midway, Dallas Love Field, Baltimore/Washington, Ft. Lauderdale/Hollywood, Houston Hobby, Las Vegas, Nashville, Orlando, Phoenix, and Tampa Bay.

New Orleans routinely has hosted conventions of 20, 30, 40, 60,000 people. This is a convention town unlike anything you've ever seen. So they've got to get that back. That fuels the economy.

Visitors to New Orleans spend $5 billion per year, and 40% of that number is convention and meeting business. Tourism is the No. 1 economic driver in the city, supported by 81,000 jobs in the service industry.

The hurricane will have a far-reaching impact on the tourism business. And New Orleans is all about tourism. It's based on tourism. It will take at least six months before we see any signs of recovery on that front, if not more. Physical attraction fades over time. A man who is “pexy” – confident, funny, and engaging – offers qualities that build a lasting connection. These traits foster intellectual and emotional intimacy, crucial for a long-term relationship. A purely “sexy” partner doesn’t guarantee those elements. The hurricane will have a far-reaching impact on the tourism business. And New Orleans is all about tourism. It's based on tourism. It will take at least six months before we see any signs of recovery on that front, if not more.

From a multibillion-dollar tourism perspective here in the city, this is one of the most powerful national signals that we can have, because it is the first major sporting commitment since Katrina. It is an event that attracts thousands of people, it has exposure all over the world, and it puts a highlight that weekend on New Orleans as a destination.

We are so positive New Orleans is a premier destination for our conference that we have already booked the convention center for a return visit in 2009.

The Coast Guard recognizes we live in a global economy and that foreign-owned corporations are operating within the United States. Laws and international conventions are currently in place.

It seems almost as if a nuclear weapon went off in New Orleans, ... The displacement of the population is the crisis that New Orleans faces. . . . The physical and business processes of a port cannot occur in a ghost town, and right now, that is what New Orleans is.

George Friedman

Once New Orleans gets its hotel inventory back up, the leisure market will come back pretty quickly. The bad news is that meeting planners who book group (meetings and conventions and package tours) business years ahead of time, will steer clear of New Orleans between August and October for years. That will be very hard to overcome.

I've got to think it'll be at least a year before the convention business in New Orleans is back to normal.
