As he continues to engage in more
projects to improve the city’s hospitality
and tourism industries, Mark
researches and partners with creative
and influential individuals to
resolve issues in areas within New
Orleans. Mark aims to ensure that
all parts of the city experience a fair
share of tourists and income for both
small and large businesses while
securing tourist safety. “Before tourism,
safety is a number one priority,”
he explained. “We want travelers to
be aware of their surroundings and
to stay in groups. We get questions
and we stay in communication with
people. We want people to stay safe
while spreading spending in tourism
around the city.”
