Hotel performance also achieved notable results. As of November, approximately 700 hotels in New York City sold 34.1 million rooms, a 4.1% increase from last year. During this time, the average hotel occupancy rate reached 83.9%, maintaining one of the highest levels among major U.S. cities.

In October alone, approximately 12.4 million passengers traveled through these airports, with international passenger numbers reaching around 4.3 million, setting a new record.
