From the St. Catharines Standard:

Around the corner from Fallsview Casino and a wall of towering hotels, the two-storey Ritz Inn Niagara features a sign boasting deep discounts heading into the peak tourist summer season. The 25 per cent price cut is the only way Niagara Falls motel owner Hoat Oey foresees surviving what some are calling the perfect storm hitting Niagara’s tourism industry.

Skyrocketing gas prices, the soaring Canadian dollar, confusion over U.S. border entry requirements and the end of GST refunds for foreigners have many forecasting a lean summer for one of the region’s largest economic sectors.
