Discover Monroe-West Monroe Releases its Faces of Tourism Digital Magazine

MONROE-WEST MONROE, La. – Discover Monroe-West Monroe (DMWM) released its Faces of Tourism digital magazine Wednesday morning.

The digital magazine honors individuals who have helped tourism thrive over the past 50 years in Ouachita Parish! This milestone offers a chance to recognize those who have shaped the parish’s experiences in leisure and sports tourism.

The faces featured in the digital magazine represent decades of work across industries such as hospitality, events, arts, outdoor recreation and more. Some contributions happen behind the scenes: coordinating events, developing experiences, preserving history and finding new ways to invite people into the destination.

Their efforts have helped the Twin Cities grow not only as a destination, but as a place people return to and remember.

Discover the 50 faces LIVE on DMWM’s website: https://www.monroe-westmonroe....
