Diverse disasters may have impacted the leisure side of travel to Louisiana, but business travel is set to soar, the Times-Picayune recently reported.

"The net impact of the financial loss to the state from the oil spill through 2013 will be about $295 million."
Yet, business travel to the state is expected to grow by $395 million in that same time frame.
