Governor has teamed up with the Department of Culture Recreation and Tourism to create the  Sunshine Plan. It s a grant program to support the recovery of the travel and tourism industries in Louisiana. It works in multiple phases based on traveler confidence that they can travel safely. The plan will make it easier for Louisiana businesses to get grants and help cut through the red tape involved in the process.
