The hospitality and tourism industry are the lifeblood of New York City’s economy. When we came into office three years ago, our city was emerging from the depths of the pandemic. Streets were empty and businesses were struggling to survive — and our tourism industry was hit hard. But our administration went to work to build a safer, more affordable city for working-class New Yorkers and their families. We worked to revitalize our commercial corridors, fill vacant storefronts, and boost economic recovery across the board.
Today, our economy has seen a comeback like no other, with record job numbers and small businesses, and our streets and subways are safer. Most significantly, our tourism industry is back, and it is booming.
