Although foreign tourists only make up a small percentage of total visitors to New York City, the emerging outbound travel markets of China and Brazil are key to driving arrivals to these all-time highs.
It's not your imagination that Fifth Avenue seems more crowded or that Times Square is even more dreadful to walk through: Tourism is at an all-time high in New York City, which is good or bad news depending on who you talk to.
NYC & Company, the city's official tourism marketing agency, outlined the growth of the city's tourism industry and its plans to make tourism an even more meaningful part of the economy at its annual meeting yesterday.
