NOCDC Services

The New Orleans Citizen Diplomacy Council offers the same services to the private sector that it has provided to government-sponsored international visitors for over forty years.

Whether you are a local company with short-term international guests or employees that have recently transferred from abroad, an international scholar, or a foreign professional seeking business contacts in the United States, we can tailor a program to fit your needs.

NOCDC offers the following services:

• Comprehensive professional programs designed to meet your professional objectives. Programs may include business appointments, site visits, round-table discussions, and informal breakfast/ luncheon meetings at businesses, local music, universities, government offices or cultural institutions.
• Arranging cultural activities that introduce visitors or newcomers to south Louisiana's unique cultural heritage, including arts, music, and other local attractions.
• A local knowledgeable "ambassador" to meet you upon arrival at your hotel, review your program, and answer any of your questions.
• Personal sightseeing tours led by qualified residents of the greater New Orleans area.
• Hotel accommodations and ground transportation arrangements.
• Shopping tours

When we develop your program, you will receive a "welcome packet" containing a detailed itinerary of your visit, maps, and information about local attractions.

New Orleans Citizen Diplomacy Council charges a nominal fee for these services. Costs are determined on a daily basis for professional itineraries for both individuals and groups, and per activity for all other arrangements. For more information, please contact:
