From the Niagara Falls Review:

Forty years after opening to the world, the Skylon Tower remains a Niagara Falls icon.

Soaring 775 feet above the Niagara gorge and overlooking the Canadian and American Falls, the Skylon offers a breathtaking view of Niagara.

But for Lee Carr, sales and marketing manager, investing in new and exciting services is vital to maintain and exceed the million or so visitors who tour the landmark on a yearly basis.

“The mainstay today is what it was 40 years ago and that’s primarily our world-famous revolving dining room and the exterior elevator ride to the top of the tower,” said Carr.

“But the landscape in this city has changed dramatically over the years, so we have adopted an aggressive and ambitious approach to our sales and marketing efforts.”

From the Winnipeg Sun:

Q.) I have heard so much about Niagara Falls and have never been there. Is it worth the trip?

A.) You, along with several thousand foreign visitors, multitudes of honeymoon couples and Canadians like yourself who finally make the decision to follow through with the same idea you have will come away absolutely overwhelmed by the power of the Falls.
