New Orleans Tourism Gushes Success Despite Oil Misperceptions
Stephen Perry, President and C.E.O. of the New Orleans Convention and Visitors Bureau
BACKGROUND:
If you travel to New Orleans in search of the oil disaster, you will be happily disappointed. But if you travel to New Orleans in search of fabulous restaurants, spectacular family attractions, iconic architecture and live music, your efforts will be greatly rewarded.
August, 2010 finds New Orleans at the top of its tourism game – and 100 miles from any traces of the oil disaster in The Gulf of Mexico. Yet, The Crescent City once again finds itself reminding the world it is open for the business of travel.
More than 1,000 restaurants are currently operating in New Orleans, and they are not all steakhouses. Seafood such as shrimp, soft-shell crabs and redfish dominate the menus of the city’s top restaurants, ensuring travelers that everything they know and love about New Orleans is waiting.
Stephen Perry, President and CEO of the New Orleans Convention and Visitors Bureau, and an Obama appointee to the U.S. Travel and Tourism Advisory Board, is available to speak with you about New Orleans and its thriving tourism industry. Battling both public misperception about the oil spill and the regular sluggish summer season, Mr. Perry and his staff have managed to turn 2010 into one of the best years yet for New Orleans travel.
Tourism is responsible for 30% of The City of New Orleans’ operating budget and employs 70,000 people throughout the region. For the first time in 5 years, New Orleans made Travel & Leisure’s top 10 U.S./Canadian Cities, joining New York, Chicago, San Francisco and Washington D.C. and others on the prestigious list.

Swing Back In New Orleans (Hurricane Katrina Tribute)
UPDATE:You can now download the free mp3 at mikegreca.com. I will be recording a studio version next week for iTunes.
I wrote this for the people of New Orleans shortly after Katrina hit. Now as the five year anniversary approaches, I would like to share it with them. If anyone knows Harry Connick Jr. I would love to pitch this to him!!!! Just imagine him on keys 
Lyrics:
And now we all know what it means
to miss New Orleans
especially if you called it home
Lake Pontchartrain went and flooded them streets
of Louis Armstrong’s town
We’ll build it brighter than it’s ever been
Well I swear we’re gonna get the swing back in New Orleans again
Mardi Gras, she’ll be boppin real soon
and crooners crooning to that creole moon
Street cats playin them old Orleans tunes
So hard to not sing along
We’ll build it brighter than it’s ever been
Well I swear we’re gonna get the swing back in New Orleans again
No storm ain’t ever gonna keep
them horns from blowin, people tappin their feet
I bet if old Satchmo were here he’d sing
“Oh, what a wonderful world”
So now we all know what it means
to miss New Orleans
Some how it just feels like home
We’ll build it brighter than it’s ever been
Well I swear were gonna get everyone to sing
“We’ll bring that swing back in New Orleans”
