from the ground up, especially one as

world-class as New York City. Always

in a state of development and growth,

the Big Apple didn’t get to where it

relying on its big city-reputation. No, it

achieved its iconic status by tapping into

travel trends, building hotels and attrac-

tions, and delivering a tourist experience

that’s unlike anywhere else in the world.

past, with a brand new campaign that high-

lights the ‘Monumental’ year ahead. ‘2019:

A Monumental Year’ spotlights several

large-scale openings and developments in

the city, and comes on the heels of a record-

breaking year in tourism in 2018. A total

A Monumental

Year

A new campaign, hotel

openings and a heavy-

attractions are all reasons

a must-visit destination

in 2019
