The hospitality and tourism industry are the lifeblood of New York City’s economy. When we came into office three years ago, our city was emerging from the depths of the pandemic. Streets were empty and businesses were struggling to survive — and our tourism industry was hit hard. But our administration went to work to build a safer, more affordable city for working-class New Yorkers and their families.
We worked to revitalize our commercial corridors, fill vacant storefronts, and boost economic recovery across the board.Today, our economy has seen a comeback like no other, with record job numbers and small businesses, and our streets and subways are safer. Most significantly, our tourism industry is back, and it is booming. In 2024, nearly 65 million visitors came to New York City — the second-highest figure in our city’s history and a 3.5 percent increase from 2023. New York City remains the global capital for restaurants, shopping, sports, and entertainment, and we are currently on pace to hit an all-time record high in 2025. This past year alone, tourists and visitors generated an economic impact of $79 million across the city and the state, supporting 388,000 jobs in leisure and hospitality. Our small businesses and minority- and women-owned businesses across the five boroughs have benefited from these record numbers. Visitor spending also generated more than $6.8 billion in tax revenue, which helped save each New York City household around $2,000 in 2024. And we can’t wait to welcome the world in 2026 to the biggest stage in New York City and New Jersey for the FIFA World Cup. The strength of our tourism industry shows the strength of our economy and is the result of our efforts to invest in working-class New Yorkers while taking on crime and quality-of-life issues. We know that a thriving tourism industry cannot exist without public safet
