All things Niagara Falls tourism…
From the Hamilton Spectator:
A fire at the Skylon Tower in Niagara Falls yesterday caused $15,000 in damages.
Fire officials responded to a call at 11:56 p.m. for a fire in the tower’s Summit Dining Room at 5200 Robinson Street.
Upon arrival emergency services found that the restaurant was unoccupied.
Niagara police says the electrical fire originated from a dishwasher in the kitchen.
The fire was quickly extinguished. No one was injured.
From Niagara This Week:
Tourism officials in Niagara are calling 2006 a tough year as the sun sets on the industry’s busiest season.
With numerous attractions including world-class golf courses, the Journey Behind the Falls, restaurants and gift shops along more than 1,700 hectares (topping 4,000 acres) of parkland along the Niagara River from Fort Erie to Niagara-on-the-Lake drawing millions of people each year, the Niagara Parks Commission is one of the major tourism attractors in the region. But with a forecasted 12 per cent drop in traffic in 2006, which equates to a five per cent drop in revenue, even Niagara Parks is feeling the sting from a mediocre year, said Executive Director Joel Noden.
