With New York set to meet its target of 50 million tourists a year shortly, the Mayor Michel Bloomberg is delighted. He should be because in 2006, when the footfalls were less than 43 million, he had taken the challenge to get it increased to at least 50 million – and he has achieved his goal. It is expected to be 50.2 million by the end of 2011.
What this means in terms of revenue is astounding – more guests in hotels, more shoppers in the stores, more people visiting the museums and other places of interest , more revenue from taxes and, most importantly, more jobs.
