Tourists

An article in the New York Times today stated the following:
 
"Mr. Fertitta is spearheading Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg's campaign to lure 50 million visitors a year to the city by 2015. That would be about six million more out-of-towners than the city, which is riding a long wave of tourism and economic growth, attracted last year."
 
Six million more visitors?  Is this place not crowded enough especially in December (traveling during "regular" hours in December is nightmarish in midtown!)? Where do you expect those six million people to go?!  I'm pretty sure they will not all fit in Times Square...
