Setting the Statistics Straight


We all have our opinions of whether or not Wikipedia is a trustworthy source of information. However, it continues to be a source of information for people around the world.

While browsing the Tourism in New York City Wikipedia page, I noticed they had a chart that was not up-to-date, nor entirely accurate compared to what NYC & Company officially reported. Each year NYC & Company releases updated tourism statistics showing how they have changed year to year, but this Wikipedia page was not kept up-to-date.


I went ahead and completed the chart, as well as made corrections, eliminating the discrepancies between the two sources.


Hopefully now that the chart has been updated more people can benefit from the page, especially the now correct statistics, and Wikipedia can be seen as more of a reliable source than before. 

Here, find the link to NYC & Company's report that I based my changes off of:
Also, here is the link to the Wikipedia page mentioned above:
