Tourism has been an engine for the NYC economy, drawing a record 66.6 million visitors in 2019 and supporting hundreds of thousands of workers across a range of industries, from hotels to restaurants to Broadway. When the pandemic shuttered businesses and the lights on Broadway went dark, it also triggered a free-fall in tourism to New York City, one of the world’s most popular destinations. Business leaders are trying to devise plans to revive an industry that brought in $45 billion annually and supported 300,000 jobs.

In this webinar, Travis Terry, President of Capalino, and Fred Dixon, President and CEO of NYC & Company, NYC’s official destination marketing organization and convention and visitor’s bureau, discuss what New York’s tourism comeback looks like, why we need a five borough approach, and what individuals and corporations can do to revitalize NYC.
