QEDC, through the Queens Tourism Council, is the official tourism marketing and coordination organization for the borough of Queens. The Council promotes the world’s most diverse county through events, marketing initiatives, advocacy, and resource sharing.
No visit to New York City is truly complete without a day in the World's Borough – with some of the best food on the planet, diverse cultural experiences around every corner, hundreds of major sporting and performing art events each year, the most photogenic views, and even more to uncover across every neighborhood. But most of all: Queens is the most authentically "New York" part of New York.
Home to the city's two major airports and the second-largest number of hotel rooms of any borough, the tourism economy in Queens employs thousands of residents and generates more than a billion dollars of annual economic activity.
