The New LouisianaTravel.com

When you’re tasked with covering Louisiana as a place, you don’t need to hone your mad ad line skills. Louisiana is, after all, a pretty phenomenal place, and no amount of wordplay could ever live up to the actual experience of visiting the place. The challenge is simply to be able to let the things that make Louisiana Louisiana shine through. That is no easy task, what with the hundreds and hundreds of places to visit, the long list of uniquely Louisiana experiences (music? yup! culture? like no where else! the culinary world? indeed, mouthwateringly so! outdoors? oh, yes, yes, Louisiana is a beautiful place with nature you will never see anywhere else).

The new LouisianaTravel.com is up to the task, however. Start by choosing one of the four main experiences (music | culinary | culture | outdoors ), explore the main slide show (see below), use the Place finder or Interactive Map or use the smart search (see below) to get a start.

We would love to know what you think. So take a look around, drop us a note, follow us on twitter, be our friend on Facebook (we are pretty friendly), give us a listen on blip.fm and let us know how we can better tell Louisiana’s story.

Oh, and while you’re at it, what’s your favorite Louisiana experience?
