By buying cooperatively, LTPA offers members significant savings on advertising, tradeshow and business items. While some programs restrict participation to LTPA members, most are open to the general tourism industry. LTPA specializes in consumer and trade programs, but is not limited to these. New programs are always being added based on feedback from membership. Got a great idea? Submit it to Tiffany Schultz today.

Louisiana Outdoor Adventures

In 2012 LTPA will produce another guide that members can participate in for as little as $150 for a listing or you can have the opportunity to be a sponsor as well. The Outdoor Publication was distributed last year to the state and certified welcome centers and aslo through ad fulfillment and trade shows. The shows that were participated in were Bassmasters Classic in Shreveport, Louisiana Sportman's Show in Gonzales, and the final show will be the The Southeast Texas Great Outdoors Expo in Beaumont, Texas this July.
