As the calendar turned to November it brought us to Louisiana. Known affectionally as the Bayou State or Pelican State, America’s 18th State was admitted to the Union back in 1812 — and during our live national broadcast of America’s #1 Travel Radio on November 1st our hosts Robert & Mary Carey were joined by Lt. Governor Billy Nungesser.
Louisiana is a place that is home to 400+ Fairs and Festivals each year, and as they like to say if you can “Catch It, Dance It, Eat It or Shoot It” there is a festival waiting there for you… From the renowned World War II Museum in New Orleans to Mardis Gras there and across the State, you certainly won’t go hungry when you’re in Louisiana and the Lt. Governor shared why! The State also ranks high with favorable property costs, low energy costs and strong workforce training programs — all things important to the World of Travel. Music, food, culture, history — and a passion for their sports teams are all unmistakeable in Louisiana and it’s why we say it’s place well worth your travel dollars.
