NYC Tourism Latest

The latest data suggests summer travel will not be impacted by the BA.2 variant. A new Longwoods International tracking study shows high gas and flight prices are influencing planning much more than Covid concerns. Demand remains high, with 90% of respondents reporting travel plans for the next six months, back to pre-pandemic levels.
