From ZWNews.com:
Canada has rejected a proposal by Zimbabwe to twin Niagara Falls and the Victoria Falls in a marketing strategy President Robert Mugabe’s government hoped would help attract more western tourists to his country. Late last year, the Zimbabwe Tourism Authority (ZTA)’s chief executive officer, Karikoga Kaseke announced that his organisation would take advantage of a tourism road show into Canada this year to negotiate a deal to have the marketing departments of the two world wonders cross-promote them to their visitors. But in a recent interview with MAP Feature Service, Anna Pierce, the manager of Niagara Tourism, an arm of the Ontario Province’s tourism department, said the Canadian authority would not entertain the idea because of Zimbabwe’s deplorable human rights record and its meddling in matters of commerce.
