New York City attracted 64 million visitors in 2023, generating $74 billion in economic activity, making it the highest-grossing tourism destination in the Western hemisphere. The city has opened 36 new museums and cultural venues since 2020, the High Line has tripled in length, and Manhattan's free-to-enter events calendar -- from Shakespeare in the Park to SummerStage -- means it remains the world's most culturally dense city regardless of budget.
