So tourists still spend all their time/money in NYC, with the exception of paying for sleeping accommodations (and taking up beds) there? Isn't that the ideal goal of this legislation?

Hotel tax is one of the easiest ways governments collect taxes from people who are not its own citizens - in NY its 6 percent. I am understanding of the arguments against Airbnb's, but they really need to allow more hotels to be built. The amount of money they can bring in (raised entirely from people out of state) is large and shouldn't be thrown away.
