New York City wants the world to know it is semi-opened for business and will invest $30 million in federal stimulus dollars to get the message out.
The Wall Street Journal reported Thursday the city seems to have a long road back to regaining pre-COVID hospitality numbers.
The report said last week’s hotel occupancy rate in NYC was around 52.2 percent. Before the outbreak, weekly hotel occupancies could easily surpass 85 percent.
“Tourism accounts for hundreds of thousands of jobs in this city, and building a recovery for all of us means welcoming tourists back,” Mayor Bill de Blasio said.
TREND FORECAST: Yes, there will be a bounce-back in tourism in the U.S. and abroad but not because of wasting money on ad campaigns.
Get ready for the “Roaring 2021/Bustin’ Loose” trend, which we had forecast in December 2020.
There will be a sharp “Biden Bounce” across the nation as a locked-down society, pumped up with stimulus money, breaks loose, and parties until the lights go out.
Indeed, we saw the pent-up youth let loose during Spring break in Florida, which, despite “health expert,” media, and political hype that there would be a COVID case surge, did not happen.
