To that end, there are few destinations in the USA where your tourism dollar, well spent, has such an appreciable impact on a place s well-being as New Orleans. This is a city whose economy is, after all, primarily built on tourism. But green sensibility is not limited to the travel industry. As New Orleans rebuilds herself, she is becoming a petri dish for green construction, sustainable development and community revitalization models. As a city, she is full of heritage buildings and districts that represent a unique historical and cultural legacy. And the natural environment that ensconces her, the wetlands of the Gulf Coast, are a fragile and beautiful land- and water-scape whose preservation is wrapped up in New Orleans survival. By patronizing the businesses and sights listed here, we hope you can soak up the history and contribute to the rebirth of a great American city.
