NYC Tourism Continues to Set Records
Tourism to New York City set a new record in 2017, with an estimated 62.8 million visitors last year, according to NYC & Company, the city’s destination marketing organization. It was the eighth consecutive year of annual increases in visitors.
The year-over-year increase from 2016 tourism was 2.3 million visitors. That equates to 49.7 million domestic and 13.1 million international visitors, both all-time highs.
“We’re keeping our door to the world open,” said Mayor de Blasio. “Even with all the headwinds from the White House, we attracted a record number of visitors to our city.”
Last year, NYC & Company launched a pair of promotional campaigns, “New York City – Welcoming the World” and “True York City.” The campaigns “reaffirmed our commitment to being an open and welcoming global capital,” said NYC & Company president and CEO Fred Dixon.
