NYC. HOME OF THE AMERICAN DREAM
> NYC is the most diverse city in the world.
Dreams are made in New York City for any person from any country or culture on the globe. New York's diverse people give us a unique perspective on the world.
“Fears of a mass exodus away from cities in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic, driven by the move to remote working, appear to have been exaggerated. Data now points to a trend of movement away from city centres, but not away from cities entirely.
“The idea of a 60:40 week – three days in an office and two days working remotely from home – has now started to become a reality. And although people are spending less time in the central areas, cities remain important as they are the backbone for businesses and offer vital opportunities for collaboration, which is essential, particularly in the new knowledge economy.”
TOURISM New York City is a top global destination for visitors.
drawn to its museums, entertainment, restaurants and commerce. The City is also host to conventions and trade shows, and major athletic events such as the New York City Marathon and the U.S. Open.
The tourism industry is a vital component of New York City’s economy and functions as
a dynamic ecosystem of attractions—shows, events, shopping and food—glued together by hospitality and transport, which serve as the core infrastructure.
(...) After reaching a record high of 66.6 million visitors in 2019 and generating $47.4 billion in spending, the number of visitors to New York City dropped by 67 percent and their spending declined by 73 percent in 2020.
OSC estimates the industry lost nearly a third of its employment in 2020. Visitors and their spending are not projected to reach pre-pandemic levels before 2025.
In its effort to reignite the tourism industry, the
City cannot simply rely on vaccinations and reopening—which are necessary steps—for the industry to return, but must also develop a proactive strategy that cultivates and attracts international and business travelers to restore the industry to robust health and return to a path of continuous and shared growth.

We believe the key imperatives for consideration are:
Holistic Vision and Focused Initiatives > the needs of every sector are unique. A vision that helps address all needs is critical. However, implementation must be focused on driving specific outcomes for a sector or stakeholder group.
Collaborative Thinking and Role-based Execution > consensus in design and clarity in terms of roles and responsibilities.
Monitor Progress and Evaluate Outcomes > manage all initiatives, monitor progress, and evaluate outcomes against predefined parameters.
Iterative Improvements and Constant Upgrades > business dynamics and the macro environment change constantly. Understanding future needs and recalibrating initiatives to address these will help build a sustainable model.
