What’s spelled out in this article has all been done by industry professionals before. When I read that the innovative "new idea" is to allow visitors to their website to book their accommodation and local services I can only say "where have spent the last five years?". That’s been done by dozens if not hundreds of destinations around the world for at least as long, in some cases since before.
Also, marketing NYC is one of the easier jobs in the tourism industry. The city has about as high a global brand recognition as you can ask for. Doesn’t take a genius to do this job well and increase the visitor numbers.
