While most Canadians do their cross border shopping close to the border, there are many great opportunities to shop and save at destinations further from home. One such destination is New Orleans, LA and its surrounding areas.

In addition to offering a variety of shopping centers, outlets and retailers, Louisiana offers a great tax free shopping program for international visitors.
