New Orleans Tourism Marketing Corporation Who We Are New Orleans Tourism Marketing Corporation (NOTMC) serves as the City of New Orleans' leisure travel promotion agency. ... See more NOTMC is a private economic development corporation created under Louisiana State Law to foster jobs and economic growth by developing the tourism industry in New Orleans. Our Mission The mission of the New Orleans Tourism Marketing Corporation is to promote and position New Orleans as the number one leisure tourism destination through a broad program of advertising, public relations, social media, Internet marketing, promotions, research, and other marketing strategies. These strategies are designed to maintain and improve the city's image as a great place to visit, to attract increased numbers of travelers, and to increase tourist spending in New Orleans. What We Do For New Orleans NOTMC was first developed to boost hotel occupancy during slow tourism periods, which have traditionally included the summer months and the weeks between Thanksgiving and New Year's Day. However, due to the effects of Hurricane Katrina and most recently the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, NOTMC is now tasked with promoting leisure tourism throughout the year. NOTMC designs and launches a year-round festival campaign, a major summer promotion; niche efforts aimed at cultural, family, and multicultural travelers; and a fall campaign promoting Christmas New Orleans Style. In addition, we produce New Orleans' official travel publications: the New Orleans Official Visitors Guide and the Christmas New Orleans Style Guide. We produce and manage NewOrleansOnline.com, the City's official leisure tourism website, NewOrleansMuseums.com, HearNewOrleansMusic.com, and GoNOLA.com - a New Orleans travel blog that also includes twice-weekly video updates. Our Funding NOTMC is funded by the City's hotel room occupancy tax and the City of New Orleans general fund. The organization receives additional funding from the RTA/hotel tax and from Harrah's Casino's agreements with the City of New Orleans and the hotel industry. While the majority of NOTMC's budget is allocated to marketing New Orleans, in accordance with a council ordinance, NOTMC also funds entities that include the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center, New Orleans Metropolitan Convention & Visitors Bureau, the New Orleans Multicultural Tourism Network, the Mayor's Office of Film & Video, the Mayor's Office of Music Business Development, and the Mayor's Office of Tourism & Arts. Administration accounts for less than five percent of the budget. See our Funding section for a detailed breakdown of the NOTMC budget, including dedicated expenditures. Our Board Each member of NOTMC's Board of Directors is nominated by the hospitality industry, appointed by the Mayor and approved by the City Council.
