According to a news release published in the New Orleans Advocate of 10/9, Travel Magazine's Conde Nast Traveler in its 2019 readers choice awards named New Orleans the fourth best large city in the country. New Orleans ranked only behind Chicago, Minneapolis and Boston. The awards were based on the top travel experiences and destinations selected by nearly 430,000 Conde Nast Traveler readers this year.
Being the only city in the South to be ranked in the top four is a great honor for New Orleans, especially with Houston, Dallas and San Antonio located next door. The city still has problems but is vital to the metro area and its neighbors. And so many people come to the city to work, play, eat, be entertained and enjoying what the city has to offer. The New Orleans economy is also a bright spot even with the slowing of the national economy.
The news release also noted and gave credit to the 87,000 people in the hospitality industry for their hard work, passion and their focus. The City of New Orleans is well deserving of the honor and the people should be very proud.
