Tourism is the cornerstone of Nelson's strategy for economic revitalization. In 2023, San Francisco welcomed 23.1 million visitors, who contributed approximately $9.3 billion in spending. This figure is substantial, especially when compared to the estimated $36 billion spent by all residents of San Francisco in 2023. The economic impact of tourism cannot be overstated, as it brings billions of dollars to our local businesses, providing a robust solution to support our community and enterprises.

Reenergizing the downtown area is critical to Nelson's plan. A vibrant downtown attracts both businesses and visitors, creating a thriving environment for commerce and social activities. By improving infrastructure, increasing safety, and promoting cultural events, Nelson aims to make downtown San Francisco a bustling hub of activity once again.

The Westfield shopping mall has long been a cornerstone of San Francisco’s retail landscape. Nelson plans to work closely with mall management, local businesses, and community stakeholders to rejuvenate this iconic shopping destination. Through targeted investments and innovative initiatives, the Westfield shopping mall will once again become a premier location for shopping, dining, and entertainment.
