Tourism in New york is a huge money spinner and employer for the folks who live and work there, as well as the local and state government through taxation.
In 2022, New York City welcomed 56.7 million visitors, up from 32.9 million in 2021.
Visitation is forecast to grow to 63.3 million in 2023 and surpass 2019 levels by 2024.
International visitation rebounded in 2022 to 8.9 million visitors, more than triple the
2021 volume and 69% of the 2019 benchmark.
