... and Buffalo will promote NYC tourism.

This sounds like a really great project.
NYS cities should be promoting each other.

In the coming months, bus shelter advertisements in the Big Apple will be touting Buffalo’s arts and culture, architecture and other virtues. At the same time, bus shelter and billboard ads in the Queen City will be touting New York City’s assets.

The tourism cross-promotion idea originated with Buffalo Mayor Byron W. Brown. He received a favorable response from New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio, and announced plans to bolster tourism between the two cities in the State of the City address in February.

“This is an exciting time to jumpstart a new partnership with Buffalo,” said Wiley Norville, de Blasio’s deputy press secretary. “The state’s second-largest city has always been a big market and a major entry point for tourists from Canada. But it’s especially advantageous now, with more economic development and activity happening in the city than at any point in recent memory. That’s a success story we want to be a part of, because when upstate thrives, New York City does too.”

This is nice.. But does the state promote tourism out of state into the state? We want to bring money into the state.

People from all over the world (& the US) visit NYC, these ads will be seen by everyone, not just residents of NYC
