Welcome Back, International Travelers!

GANYC was elated to hear that, starting in November, international travelers will once be able to visit the United States (with most restrictions removed then for vaccinated travelers). Our membership includes a large amount of multilingual guides who depend on their travelers for their livelihoods. As does the NYC economy! International visitors generate 50 percent of the city’s tourism spending, which in turn is one of the city's most important sources of revenue across several industries.

GANYC member Jared Goldstein was interviewed for a New York Times article this week about this news. “I’m so happy to welcome them back,” Goldstein said.

We are all too! A reminder that travelers can use our Find a Guide feature-- https://www.ganyc.org/find-guide -- to search for guides by language.
