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.
