Hotels and restaurants trying to get back and touting tourism. However, beaches are filled with broken glass and debris under sand, gulf water is full of bacteria that can be life threatening ( think of flesh eating bacteria) and trees and green vegetation are gone. Pushing for visitors in my opinion, is too soon. Its not the beautiful place visitors once knew and could turn them off from coming here permanently. But our Gov. doesn't seem to think about that.
