By rssfeeds-admin On Monday, he delivered the keynote address at the Caddo Republican Social in Shreveport at Superior Grill. Tuesday, he delivered the keynote address for the members of the Shreveport Business Association at the Caddo Parish Sheriff’s Office Re-entry Facility.
During his addresses, he shared updates on tourism, state parks, Louisiana seafood, and Keep Louisiana Beautiful, along with his outlook for the future of our state’s tourism industry.
Nungesser also stopped by our morning show, weighing in on the controversial plan for a $10M pickleball facility in Shreveport.
He says the project could bring tourism dollars into our community.
“If you build it, they will come. If you don’t build it, they’re not coming. You know, the same thing happened in Ruston; they built those ball fields, and they got criticized. Well, if you look across north Louisiana, I think we’ve had 60, 70 new hotels in the last ten years, a lot of it sports tourism. We have a team that travels the country bringing travel events, tournaments at Olympic trials, we had volleyball in Shreveport. These are things that are bringing dollars to the community,” says Nungesser.
He predicts pickleball will soon become an Olympic sport, making the million-dollar complex a sound investment in the city of Shreveport.
