Hurricane season is around the corner,
how are tourist hotspots doing after 2005's
devastating season?
Last year was one of the most devastating hurricane
seasons the Atlantic region has ever seen. A record
27 named storms, of which 14 were hurricanes, bore
down on the Caribbean, Mexican and American
shores exceeding the 1969 record of 12 hurricanes.
Though a number of tourist hotspots in the Caribbean
were hit by Hurricane Wilma, the Bahamas, Key
West, Miami and Mexico are all working their way
back to normalcy. If you decide to travel the
southern Atlantic coast this spring you'll encounter
rebuilding efforts in nearly every facet of tourism.
Travelers can be be confident, however, that as the
rebuilding continues, the area is safe with all
necessities like running water and road access
operating normally. The white sand beaches of the
Caribbean have suffered some erosion as a result of
the hurricanes. however, there is still ample sand for
relaxing and sunbathing while the efforts to restore
the beaches to their previous state take place.
New Orleans
...According to the New Orleans Convention and
Visitors Bureau: "The historic and cultural experience
that attracts more than 10 million people to New
Orleans each year is as rich, charming and welcoming
as ever. There are more than 25,000 hotel rooms
available, and or famed restaurants and music clubs
are humming. The 150th anniversary of Mardi Gras
was a coming out party for the city, which is now
getting ready for the internationally celebrated New
Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival. It's no surprise
that the New York Times recently named New
Orleans the "Comeback of the Year."
Reports are that the city of New Orleans is ready to
welcome visitors, particularly meetings and incentive
groups with open arms and great rates for groups
and what a wonderful way of giving to the rebirth
effort your visit would be!

Research, only 10% of employees are satisfied with
their company's actual incentive/recognition program.

programs to their employees are good for both the
corporation and the employee. Making each other
happy is what drives sales and retains good
employees. Working with a performance improvement
