United Motorcoach Expo 2007 in New Orleans
UMA, the United Motorcoach Association, the trade organization for professional bus and motorcoach companies, will hold its Motorcoach Expo 2007 in New Orleans, on January 17-21, 2007. UMA’s 2006 convention in Tampa this year, with more than 130 exhibitors, 500 operating companies, and 1,500 attendees, was an apparent success.
Mardi Gras was bigger than many expected in 2006 and the city is working hard to welcome back visitors. One of the city’s upcoming signature events, the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival is scheduled for April 28-30 and May 5-7, 2006. The Fairgrounds event is boasting as impressive a lineup as ever, with headliners to include Paul Simon, Bob Dylan, Gulf Coast native Jimmy Buffett, the Dave Mathews Band and Elvis Costello as well as local legends.
