The Group Travel Leader is taking a trip to explore Louisiana’s bayou culture, and we want you to come with us!
Our friends at the Louisiana Office of Tourism are arranging a familiarization tour of the cities and towns throughout the southern part of the state, and they’re inviting our travel planner readers to attend. The tour will take place March 19–23 and will include Thibodaux, Houma, Patterson and other communities along the way.
You’ll join Brian Jewell, our VP and executive editor, and Telisa Rech, our advertising sales manager, as they explore the area with our Louisiana hosts.
Highlights of the five-day tour will include:
• Greenwood Gator Farms — Learn about the heritage of alligator farming — and meet some of the creatures for yourself — at this visitor-friendly facility.
• Zam’s Swamp Tours — Explore the distinctive beauty of the Louisiana bayou with this interactive boat tour in Thibodaux.
• Wedell-Williams Aviation & Cypress Sawmill Museum — Get to know Louisiana’s Aviation heritage and its historic cypress lumber industry at this unique state museum.
• Faith Family Shrimp Company — Visit this family-owned business in Chauvin to see how its distinctive dried shrimp product goes “from the bayou to the bag.”
• Authentic Crawfish Boil — Enjoy the quintessential taste of the bayou with a celebration of its most famous delicacy.
Your hotel accommodations, meals, admissions and other expenses will be hosted by the Louisiana Office of Tourism. Participants are responsible for their own travel to and from the region.
You can apply to attend this FAM tour at grouptravelleader.com/la-fam. Space is limited, and applications close December 15.
Don’t miss this opportunity to join us March 19–23 in Louisiana!
