One of my alerts took me to a Windows Live Spaces blog where a person named Reshma writes about her visit to Niagara Falls:

Yesterday I spent the entire day visiting the sights in Niagara Falls. I’d bought the Adventure Pass and decided to take full advantage of it - Maid of the Mist, Journey Behind the Falls, the Butterfly Conservatory, and the White Water Walk. There was also a pass for the shuttle bus included so it was perfect. The weather was not too bad, just cloudy with some sunny breaks. The falls were absolutely stunning, and incredibly powerful. You can feel the spraying mist from far away, even atop the the higher hills. At the end of the day I decided to go back to the falls and good thing I did - the sun had come out and formed a rainbow with the mist. It was like a picture-perfect postcard.

From the Niagara Falls Review:

The United Arab Emirates is roughly the same size as the state of Maine.

But with 4.4 million citizens, an unemployment rate of 2.4 per cent and an average tax-free income of 87,000 UAE dirhams (Cdn$25,500) per person, Emiratis - and the many expatriates from around the globe who now call the wealthy Arab state home - mean big business to the travel industry.

So much so the Niagara Parks Commission has sent staff to the Persian Gulf nation twice in 2007 - in February and again this month.

On the first mission, Parks executive director of revenue development Joel Noden and corporate executive chef Paul Pennock travelled to the gulf state following stops at travel shows in Scotland and England to promote travel to Niagara Falls.
