All things Niagara Falls tourism…
As I’m always on the lookout for good Niagara Falls sites, I came across a Flickr collection the other day for someone with the username Mtl_Shag. This person came to Niagara Falls 6-9 months ago, and took some nice pictures of the Falls in Winter. There are also other Niagara Falls pictures as well.
From the Niagara Falls Review:
Niagara’s tourism industry continues to suffer a hangover from significant events of years past - the SARS outbreak and 9-11. Compounding these lingering effects are issues like confusion about the need to show identification when crossing the border, the rising loonie and the end of a GST exemption for visitors to Canada.
Put it all together and it means Niagara’s tourism stakeholders have to come up with some new strategies, and fast.

The focus has to be shifted to two other areas - the long-distance traveller and the domestic market. Long-distance travellers, those arriving by air, have to be enticed by comprehensive packages offering a varied experience, and that will require co-operation from Niagara Falls and Niagara’s entire tourism market - hotels, attractions, wineries and the like.
A popular Disney discussion board recently had someone post a question about Marvel Adventure City. He wanted to know if anyone had been and what the cost was. There weren’t a lot of responses, but it was interested to see what other people’s perceptions are. One response was:
The views from down in the gorge are incredible and it’s a once-in-a lifetime experience not to be missed.
Another person responded:
I would stay far away from Clifton Hill. It is a trashy tourist attraction IMO. It does no justice to the beautiful Niagara area.
From the Niagara Falls Review:
Wirewalker Jay Cochrane is ready to go - and if the weather co-operates today as expected - he will perform the first of his 20-storey walks this summer in the Fallsview district near the Skylon Tower.
Wednesday’s rain prevented the 63-year-old world famous wirewalker from performing on America’s Fourth of July holiday, but it didn’t dampen his spirits.
“I thought I might be able to do a little Mary Poppins with my umbrella,” he told The Review in a telephone interview Wednesday.
“I have my walking shoes on and I’m ready to go.”
Technical problems delayed Cochrane’s walk last Saturday and weather has played a factor earlier this week.
“The weather is supposed to be beautiful (today). Nice and sunny and the temperature in the 70s so I’m ready.”
