“New York's Annual Economic Stimulus - What This City Stands to Lose”
WIADCA IS A MAJOR ECONOMIC STIMULUS TO THE TOURISM MARKET OF NEW YORK CITY AND STATE
As the fiscal crisis of the Federal, State and New York City budgets appears to fluctuate and in some arenas worsen; WIADCA plays a pivotal role as an economic stimulus for New York City and New York State. Crain’s New York Business states in the January 1, 2009 edition that New York City’s economic plan “can start with the city’s vital tourism trade.” It also states in the February 9, 2009 article, “IDEAS TO HELP NY’s ECONOMY”, that tourism should “Emphasize International Travelers and Attract Regional Audiences”. These are both key factors in WIADCA’s Labor Day attendance. According to an Empire State Development Corporation (ESDC) report conducted by the LUGANO Group, the Carnival contributes an annual approximated $86 million (at 2003 dollar value and $101,277,619 for 2010 dollar value) to New York City’s revenue.
