Travel advisors are invited to experience the magic of New Orleans firsthand this summer through New Orleans & Company’s 2025 Independent Summer Travel Advisor FAM. From June through August, participating hotels across the city are offering exclusive rates for travel professionals. With flexible options and limited blackout dates, this self-guided FAM is the perfect way to explore the city at your own pace.
Coming to New Orleans in the summer also means seasonal menus at restaurants, especially in June during Restaurant Week and the entire month of August, where many world-renowned New Orleans restaurants take part in COOLinary, which is an annual tradition featuring specially priced prix-fixe lunch, dinner, and brunch menus.
"This summer, we want travel advisors to not just visit New Orleans — but truly feel it," said Kim Priez, Senior Vice President of Tourism at New Orleans & Company. "This summer is an invitation to experience our city with fresh eyes — to connect with our people, our culture, and our stories. We’re excited to showcase what’s new, what’s timeless, and why New Orleans remains one of the most dynamic destinations in the world."
Register here to participate in our 2025 Independent Summer FAM for Travel Advisors. While taking advantage of hotel rates from fabulous New Orleans hotels during the Summer FAM, travel advisors can also request a VIP Pass to stay. The pass provides travel professionals exclusive access to discounts and special offers at restaurants, museums, and other popular attractions around New Orleans.
