NOTMC's Mission Statement

The mission of the New Orleans Tourism Marketing Corporation is to promote the city as a leisure tourism destination throughout the year with special emphasis on developing visitation during the traditionally slow months of summer and the weeks between Thanksgiving and New Year’s.

We do this through a comprehensive program of research, public relations, promotions, advertising and other marketing strategies. These strategies are designed to maintain and improve the city's image as a great place to visit, to attract increased numbers of travelers, and to increase tourist spending in New Orleans.

NOTMC is a private economic development corporation, created under Louisiana state law. Its purpose is to foster jobs and economic growth by developing the New Orleans tourism industry. It is funded by a hotel room occupancy tax and the City of New Orleans general fund and receives additional funding from the Regional Transit Authority/hotel tax.
