Voices From the Field

  • “We continue to rely on Brand USA on amplifying our message in international markets. That includes not only the markets that New York has a connected presence, but equally important, we can only do so much. It’s a huge world. And so Brand USA is in the places that we can be and giving that message in places that we’re not going to have a connected presence to let them know that not only in New York City, but in fact the whole state of small communities, small towns, smaller cities is out there waiting.”

    Ross Levi Executive Director, New York State Commission of Tourism
