Well, without all that income from tourism, people are going to have to rely on the government for their sustenance. The ghost of Hugo Chavez is cheering.
Unfortunately, lack of tourism has already hurt this area. Louisiana is known as a hospitality state for its festivals, food, sports, fishing, etc. and like all those who rely on that industry, it’s been bad times since COVID. Doesn’t help that New Orleans has a mayor who’s an idiot more often than not.
