While there is still a long way to go, New York City tourism is officially on the path to recovery from the impact of COVID-19.
The city, prior to COVID-19, was experiencing record tourism numbers. According to NYC & Company, the city’s official DMO, 2019 saw 66.6 million tourists come into the city’s five boroughs, up from 65 million in 2018.
Like so many other destinations, New York City saw a steep decline in 2020 with just 22.3 million visitors, a majority of which came prior to COVID-19 in March. While the city expects to recover more than 50% of that number in 2021 (NYC & Company is predicting 36.4 million visitors), it expects to exceed 2019’s record number by 2024.
