From the Director: We Must Invest in the French Quarter to Keep the Momentum Going for New Orleans
March 10, 2025
In a guest column for NOLA.com | “The Times Picayune,” HNOC President & CEO Daniel Hammer advocates for continued investment in the French Quarter in the wake of Super Bowl LIX.
“New Orleans’s tourism industry is robust, and investing in its future success is critical to ensuring positive future economic outcomes for the city and state. As an industry whose viability depends on engagement with and relevance to local people, the right investments will serve not only to benefit the industry but will equally serve to improve the quality of life of residents.”
Daniel Hammer, President and CEO of the Historic New Orleans Collection
