GANYC is in the NYTimes!

Our association traveled to Iran for the World Federation of Tourist Guides Convention January 23-February 1st we returned to our country with apprehension and sadness due to Trump's travel bans. 

When we created this bid to host the next WFTGA convention our enthusiasm was detailed and set with the theme "Come Home To New York: A City of Cultural Diversity" our full presentation represented the inclusion, spirit, and welcome that we as New York City tourist guides embody. However the travel ban was announced the evening after our presentation and things changed and it effected our convention offer and the delegates decided to host it in Georgia instead.
