Highest Engagement

Most recently the highest level of engagement was on a photo of Jackson Square - 118 likes and 23 comments on Facebook.

Posts like this have the highest engagement levels because they resonate with people – they touch something inside them that makes them yearn to be back in New Orleans.

Anyone can post travel deals and information about the city, not everyone can give you a 360 degree view of your city from the inside out.
