We have been very fortunate to have seen the growth in hotel occupancy for 2010. For the second year in a row, Shreveport-Bossier led all other Louisiana cities in that area. Yet, November and December numbers saw a significant decrease compared to the same months in 2009. The oil and gas business was reflective of some of the annual increase, yet now is contributing to some of the current decline as business moves elsewhere to capitalize on new shales and discoveries.
The positive outlook is that tourism is so much more than the oil and gas business. It’s really the people, the culture, the taste, and the sounds that make Shreveport-Bossier a preferred getaway for visitors, conventioneers, business travelers, film industry, plus the many other groups that frequent the area. The success of tourism has and always will be a community success.
