While a final 2025 tourism revenue figure isn't yet available, the NYC Tourism + Conventions organization projected an overall economic impact of $137 billion for 2025, which includes a significant portion of direct spending, tax revenue from hotels, dining, and shopping. Early 2025 forecasts for visitor numbers were slightly revised downward to about 3 million, but the overall economic contribution is expected to remain very high.
2025
tourism impact
Overall economic impact: NYC Tourism + Conventions projects a record-setting $137 billion overall economic impact for 2025, notes Times Square Billboard.
Revised visitor forecast: In early May 2025, the forecast was adjusted to 61.4 million visitors, down from an earlier projection of 64.4 million, according to Hospitality Net.
Visitor spending: Despite the forecast revision, visitor spending is still expected to be a major driver of the city's economy.
Tax revenue: Tourism-related taxes, such as hotel occupancy, sales taxes, and ticket surcharges, are a major component of the city's revenue.
For 2025, forecasts predict a downturn in New York City's annual tourism revenue, with estimates ranging from $47 billion to $51 billion in direct spending. The anticipated decrease is largely attributed to a decline in international visitors.
Key 2025 NYC tourism projections and factors:
Revised revenue forecasts: Initial optimism for a record-breaking year was revised downward by NYC Tourism + Conventions. A projected $4 billion decrease in direct spending was announced, lowering the forecast from $51 billion to $47 billion.
Projected visitor numbers: Total projected visitors were revised from 67.2 million to 64.1 million. This includes 52 million domestic tourists, an increase from 2024, and 12.1 million international tourists, a significant decrease of 800,000 from 2024.
Reasons for decline: The decrease is largely driven by a reduction in international visitors, who, though a smaller percentage of overall tourists, contribute to about 50% of direct spending. Factors like rising anti-American sentiment, trade war rhetoric, and geopolitical events are cited for the drop in international travelers.
Impacted markets: Several international markets are seeing notable declines in spending for 2025, including Canada, France, and China.
Hotel and business travel: While overall revenue is expected to drop, the hotel sector continues to perform strongly. Business travel is projected to grow to 13.1 million visitors in 2025, though still below pre-pandemic levels.

The Wealthy, Liberal Democrat Doners to the Mamdani Campaign are more committed to maintaining the Tourist Revenue in NYC than it is in retaining the Companies moving out. Trump is the “Perfect Advisor” for Mamdani to increase the supply of apartments.
