Who's tried this Southern staple when on their travels?! Catfish is very popular - and tasty - in our region. The local clientele like the fish rolled in seasoned cornmeal, fry it then served greaseless, crisp and piping hot 😋😋

Today's Meet the Team post is Jessica who works on our Tennessee account.

Jessica represents Tennessee Vacation and has worked in the travel industry for 30 years. She has travelled across all of Tennessee, experiencing the amazing Southern cuisine, history, culture, music, and that true Southern hospitality. Travel is her passion, and anyone that knows Jessica knows she loves to always be arranging that next holiday!

Jessica's fact: Tennessee is the home to seven genres of music - blues, bluegrass, rock n' roll, rockabilly, country, gospel and soul. More songs are written, recorded and played live in Tennessee than anywhere else in the world!

Next up on our Meet the Team week is Neil!

Neil represents Explore Louisiana, and has worked with the state for many years and has visited many times!! Neil's top tip is be ready to talk to strangers, the food may look different, and the accents will certainly sound different, but the warmth of the delicious food is second only to the warmth and welcoming nature of Louisianans.

Also immerse yourself in nature - from the Creole Nature Trail in Lake Charles, the Bayous of Lafayette on a swamp boat or an air boat tour there's plenty to discover outdoors.

It's Meet the Team week!

First up, meet Alabama Andy. Andy loves the diversity Alabama offers, from the mountains in the north to the 32-miles of stunning white sandy beaches in the south. He has been proudly representing Alabama since 2017.

'I feel very lucky to represent Alabama as it’s a brilliant destination with loads of great experiences and friendly people.'

A great piece of advice for anyone visiting Alabama is to fully embrace the state's abundant Southern hospitality.
