    Tourism in NYC relies heavily on international visitors. Prior to the pandemic, international tourists comprised 15% of Broadway audiences and 20% of ticket sales for the Metropolitan Opera. More than half of international visitors to NYC visit art galleries or museums. With the return of international travel, NYC arts and cultural institutions are actively promoting themselves to attract international tourists once again, as they view cultural tourism as key to the city's economic recovery from the pandemic.
