Strike doesn't stop visits
The show is not going on for many Broadway productions, but things appear to be business as usual for area travel companies.
With talks breaking down between Broadway producers and stagehands, it looks as if no end is in sight for the 10-day strike that has forced 27 musicals to close. The closures have occurred during one of New York City's biggest times of the year for tourism, and the strike is costing the city $17 million a day from lost revenue, according to estimates from the League of American Theaters and Producers.
Yet central New York travel agencies and tour companies have not felt the same financial sting. Even though Broadway is a major draw for both in-and-out-of-state tourists, there is enough to do in Manhattan during the holidays to keep the buses full.
