The summer of the staycation

Take your next vacation on Staten Island and not only will you save money but you’ll contribute to the city’s economy — a win-win.
Well, you don’t have to spend the whole time in Staten Island, but keep it in the city, and for every 1,000 New Yorkers who do “go local” for a week instead of taking a vacation in another destination, NYC could see an additional $1,365,000 in spending in the local economy that would have been spent on food, entertainment and shopping while out of town, NYC & Co. estimates.
NYC & Co., the city’s tourism agency, has been on a tear trying to attract recession-weary New Yorkers to vacation here at home. The “Go Local” campaign has expanded lately with spot ads on TV screens in taxis that rolled out last week.
