GANYC News Round-Up

Here is a round-up of GANYC news as we enter Spring!

1. GANYC member Matt Levy was interviewed by the NY Times for this recent article-- "Trump’s Threat to Annex Canada Is Keeping Tourists North of the Border". The article's author contacted us for information, and we were happy to assist with the piece. Matt was also featured on CBS News about this.

GANYC has been keeping track of this issue, and will continue to advocate on behalf of NYC tourism to journalists and political officials.
