Things to Do, Attractions and Activities

105 17
There are lists upon lists of things to do in New Orleans. This post is not one of those lists. I think it is more helpful to provide readers with resources to discover attractions and things to do on their own. There is a wealth of information available for travelers. Most of it can be found with a little help from the world wide web. This article will address some of those resources.

I always start my search for travel information with VisitorTips.com. The site is a component of Certified Folder Display, which fabricates and services all the tourist brochure racks in hotel lobbies. Very few companies know the tourism industry like Certified Folder Display does. Visitor Tips is Certified's digital brochure rack and tourists will find plenty of things to do in New Orleans by checking it out. Points of interest, accommodations, dining and shopping can all be found on this site. Visitor Tips is our first choice for travelers trying to find things to do in New Orleans.

If Visitor Tips is our favorite resource for travelers, then internet directories is our second. You've probably heard about web platforms such as Trip Advisor, Yelp and Angie's List. These are essentially sites that list thousands of businesses including those in the travel industry. Users can plan their trip by finding price ranges, comprehensive descriptions, directions, hours of operation and images. The best part is the reviews. Tourists can check out other consumers' reviews of the places before they visit and can leave a critique themselves after their visit. This is a great way to hold businesses accountable to the consumer. Before visiting New Orleans, we suggest tourists visit some of these websites to check out places to stay, restaurants and local attractions to find out what others have said.

City websites can be a huge advantage for those looking for museums, art or other public facilities such as libraries and government buildings. In order to make certain a government attraction is open before you decide to plan your holiday - and we strongly recommend you do - then government sites are the place to go. Those of you who remember Chevy Chase in the movie Vacation might understand the aggravation of driving a long distance only to find out your favorite attraction is shut down for repairs. "The park's closed. The mouse out front should've told ya."

This may appear to be a bit unimpressive, but the search engines can be an excellent place to research more information on things to do in New Orleans or almost any city you are visiting for that matter. But rather than enter your search phrase as you normally would, consider using an enhanced search by selecting one of the options in the side bar such as Places, Forums, Discussions or Blogs. The kind of categories is determined by the search engine you use. Here you'll find other people asking some of the very same questions in which you are interested. The contributors in these forums are usually very competent and like to help out as much as they can. They like sharing their knowledge. These individuals offer assistance free of charge and are a good resource for tourists.

With all the information available to travelers, it truly is a little nuts to go anywhere without being completely informed. Digging around to get bits and pieces might be helpful, but try the forums and discussions and find out if you can contact a local; an individual who genuinely knows New Orleans. You will find plenty online who are familiar with just about any region imaginable. You'll learn that most people are delighted to provide their guidance on places to visit and things to do in New Orleans.
