New York
MAYOR Bill de Blasio may have diverged from his predecessor's path several times in his first year in office, but when it comes to tourists, he has embraced Michael Bloomberg's rallying cry: Keep them coming.
Mr De Blasio increased the city's spending on tourism promotion in 2014 and is considering doing so again this year, said Alicia Glen, a deputy mayor. City officials are expected to announce on Monday that the official count of visitors to the city last year was 56.4 million people, up from the previous peak of 54.3 million in 2013.
