AGP Executive Report

Last update: 3 hours ago

Public Health Alert: Louisiana health officials say Vibrio vulnificus has killed 5 people this year, with 9 cases total so far—most tied to seawater entering open wounds, and the risk rising in warm months. Tourism Deal: New Orleans & Co. is offering $100 digital gift cards for visitors who book two consecutive nights at participating hotels, aiming to boost foot traffic during the summer slump. French Quarter Crowd Watch: The city braces for a busy Aug. 8 with the Red Dress Run and Dirty Linen Night, when locals say the best plan is to “wear something red” and bar-hop. Local Governance/Travel Impact: Qualifying wrapped for Nov. 3 races in Ascension Parish, with several judges and school board seats decided unopposed—useful context for anyone planning longer stays around election-season changes. Culture & Community: Hearts of Hope Children’s Advocacy Center in Port Barre received a Resolution of Accommodation, highlighting ongoing support for child abuse response across Acadiana. Family Travel Story: A Lake Charles family met Pope Leo XIV in Rome after tracing a shared ancestor—an unusual pilgrimage with big travel appeal.
