"On behalf of the World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC) I would like to express my deepest sympathy to the people of New Orleans and the Gulf Coast of the USA who have been so tragically affected by Hurricane Katrina. The hearts of all the members of the world Travel & Tourism community go out to them at this uncertain and traumatic time. The USA is a well-resourced and well organized country and we have every confidence that the government and population at large will full support those affected over the coming months."
