Abstract
This paper addresses a major focus of urban studies: the politics of local economic development in the US city. It does so through a case study of New Orleans and its tourism industry. Specifically, it examines development based on tourism by analyzing it within the context of the industry's drive to create an "authentic New Orleans experience." This then creates a situation in which the industry becomes involved in the neighborhoods and wage relations in the city.
