NYC tourism season this summer could be hot mess if migrants occupy too many hotels
“I’m worried about summer tourism. We’re 30 to 45 days out from summer tourism internationally,” said Queens Chamber of Commerce president Tom Grech.
Earlier Wednesday, Mayor Eric Adams reported that hotels contracted by the city to house migrants are filling up. “We are confident that — even as we help the city navigate this challenge — we will continue to serve visitors to New York and support the local economy as a critical industry.” In a February newsletter, the comptroller said city hotels were booking about 3 million rooms per month, closing in on the pre-pandemic monthly figure of 3.4 million rooms per month, and rose after migrants began arriving last spring.Hotel tax collections through April more than doubled tax receipts in 2022 — $475 million vs. $200 million, Lander said.
