Join us after NTA/ITMI/TripSchool Symposium for a three-day destination training starting in Shreveport, LA and visiting towns along the way towards New Orleans!
We will depart from the Hilton Shreveport, located at 104 Market St
Shreveport, LA 71101 at 8:30AM.
We make our way way from Shreveport, via Natchitoches, (Nack-a-tish). This original French colony in Louisiana, is the oldest settlement in the Louisiana Purchase. Established in 1714, Natchitoches, retains its European flavor through its architecture, heritage and lifestyle. Plus, it's the town where Steele Magnolias was filmed! You can walk the streets on a self guided tour (which we provide) and see the filming locations of this incredible movie. We then head to Baton Rouge for a quick orientation and a chance to go to the State Capital observation deck, located on the 27th floor of this centerpiece building. It overlooks the city of Baton Rouge at a height of 350 feet, and the views of the gardens are spectacular.
After arriving into NOLA, we will check into our hotel and enjoy an introductory walking tour of the French Quarter...drinks anyone?
