Niagara Falls, one of Canada’s most prized tourism attractions, is luring fewer American visitors this year because of an unfavorable exchange rate, a Canadian tourism official said on Thursday.
The number of U.S. day trippers crossing the border into Canada to see the spectacular waterfalls has dropped 16 percent this year, Christopher Jones, vice-president of public affairs for the Tourism Industry Association of Canada, told a parliamentary finance committee.
Niagara Falls is one of many cases of lost tourism revenue seen across Canada due to the rising value of its currency against the U.S. dollar, Jones said.
