About this Report

About this Report

Chicago’s mayor, Rahm Emanuel, set tourism goals for the city: Receive 50 million visitors annually and boost Chicago to the top five most visited US cities by foreigners – both by 2020. To achieve these goals, the city created its first commercial aimed at domestic travellers and opened more marketing offices abroad. Hosting the NATO Summit in May 2012 was considered a success and will potentially lead to more visitors and more high profile events for the city.
