| News | | The Louisiana Office of Tourism’s Competitive Grant Program is now accepting applications for events July 1, 2012 – June 30, 2013. Marketing Grants are available for events that increase visitation, length of stay and tourism expenditures in Louisiana. Applications must be postmarked by Friday, March 16, 2012. Late applications will not be considered for funding.

Please contact Valerie Lewis with any questions about the grant program. Her phone number is 225-342-8100 or email vlewis@crt.la.gov. This is my last week with the Office of Tourism. I’ve accepted a Graduate Assistantship with LSU as I’m currently working on my MBA. |
