NYC.gov: What They Are Saying: New Yorkers Support Mayor Adams’ Blueprint for NYC’s Economic Recovery
March 11, 2022
New York City Mayor Eric Adams yesterday unveiled “Rebuild, Renew, Reinvent: A Blueprint for New York City’s Economic Recovery,” outlining his vision for the city’s economic recovery and the future of the city’s economy, all built on equity and inclusivity.
“Tourism is crucial to the success of Broadway as well as the greater New York City area,” said Charlotte St. Martin, president, Broadway League. “Sixty-five percent of our audiences hail from outside the tri-state area, and that represents more than 9.5 million theatergoers who visit the city to enjoy Broadway shows as well as take in all the exciting offerings that New York has to offer, from hotel stays to dining to nonstop shopping. NYC & Company is a great partner in helping us get the word out about the 41 theaters who produce spectacular year-round entertainment. We applaud the mayor’s support to enhance the great marketing done by NYC & Company to help bring the hospitality industry back from the pandemic losses.”
“The hotel industry in New York City deeply appreciates and applauds Mayor Adams and his team for this wonderful initiative that will considerably help the hotel industry on its path to recovery from the economic damage caused by COVID-19,” said Vijay Dandapani, president and CEO, Hotel Association of New York. “We are very confident that NYC & Company will use these resources to quickly restore domestic and international travel to the levels our great city witnessed before COVID-19.”
