Bill in Louisiana Legislature Aims to Increase Funds for Tourism Advertising

Bringing more tourists to Baton Rouge and Louisiana is the goal

In
order to fund a tourism advertising campaign for Louisiana, a bill has been
introduced into the state legislature, removing the cap on the amount of funds
used for tourism promotion from the sales and use tax.
The
Advocate reports on this move
:

The increased revenue will allow the
department to dedicate funds to a national advertising campaign and change the
perception across the country that Louisiana remains severely damaged from
hurricanes Katrina and Rita, said Angèle Davis, secretary of the Department of
Culture, Recreation and Tourism.

Increased advertising
about the state could also help Louisiana real estate, and Baton Rouge real
estate in particular, as more people see the state as a desirable place to
live.
