NYC Tourism Rebounds but Still Trails Pre-COVID Levels Amid Crime Concerns
TL;DR
New York City tourism remains below pre-COVID levels, with 62.2 million visitors in 2023, down 7% from 2019. Concerns about crime and high prices are contributing factors, with international tourism particularly lagging. Despite improvements, the city still faces challenges in fully recovering tourism-related jobs and matching the performance of other major cities like London and Paris. The NYC Tourism + Conventions bureau anticipates a full recovery by 2025.
