(ANSA) - NEW YORK, JUN 07 - The tourism industry in New York is on track to return to pre-pandemic levels.
CBS News writes it citing Mayor Eric Adams who spoke of a record demand among hotel reservations, Broadway and attractions.
This is also confirmed by City Cruises, which operates ferries to Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty, according to which the number of visitors has reached 70% of pre-Covid levels.
Lostesso Adams pointed out that demand for hotels has reached 95% in the pre-pandemic period and 760,000 rooms were booked last week.
Broadway ticket sales are at an all-time high since theaters reopened.
However, that area of Midtown where most of the offices are located is particularly penalized.
Many employees still work remotely and the catering industry suffers particularly.
According to Andrew Rigie of the New York City Hospitality Alliance, there is a risk that it will never return to pre-Covid levels and therefore we would have to start reconverting Midtown.
