New York's appeal as a tourist destination is well established, as is its key role in the business world. Has the sector fully recovered from the pandemic?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Nancy Mammana -<\/strong> Not yet at 100%. In 2024, New York welcomed 64.3 million tourists, or 97% of the record attendance achieved in 2019. And we will surpass this pre-Covid volume in 2025, thanks in particular to the Asian clientele, which has been slower to return until now. The comparison with the pandemic will then no longer apply, for both leisure and business customers<\/strong>which has been lagging behind until now. As everywhere, teleworking and the increase in the number of virtual meetings have weighed on the return of business travel to pre-pandemic levels. But we're almost there. Full recovery will be achieved by the end of 2025, I think. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This permanent appeal is also reflected in the development of the hotel industry, with each year bringing its own batch of new establishments. More than fifty new hotels are expected by 2027. How is this accommodation offering evolving?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

N. M. - <\/strong>New York tourism is lucky. We have no problems either with flight capacity to New York or with hotel development, with a steady stream of new hotel openings. We should see the addition of around 7,000 new rooms next year<\/strong> through new construction or the completion of major renovations such as that of the Waldorf Astoria<\/a>. What is new is that the transformation of this hotel, like that of the Four Seasons recently, has incorporated a residential component, offering private flats alongside a reduced number of rooms. Prior to this, other smaller luxury hotels have opened their doors, such as the Surrey and Twenty Two this autumn, or previously the Fifth Avenue<\/a>. We have a very diverse range of luxury properties, boutique hotels and all the mid-range establishments that are springing up here and there, offering slightly more affordable accommodation solutions. And not just in Manhattan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
