All things Niagara Falls tourism…
Last Thursday I received the latest issue of the Clifton Hill Resorts Update newsletter. They are promoting various packages and the new Fun Pass.

From the Niagara Gazette:
President Bush’s signature is all that stands between Niagara Falls and its designation as a National Heritage Area, a federal program that would give the National Park Service a stake in local infrastructure and development.
The bill passed the U.S. Senate Thursday as part of the Energy Lands Act. It makes the area — which extends from the Falls to Youngstown — available for an annual $1 million per year for the next 10 years.
“Today, Niagara Falls has taken a giant step closer towards receiving the resources and attention it needs to maintain its position as one of the natural wonders of the world,” Sen. Charles Schumer, D-NY, said in a release. He later added, “This legislation will take great strides in balancing the inequity (between the Canadian and American sides of the Falls).”
From the Niagara Falls Review:
Niagara Falls is making headway in its quest to join the New Seven Wonders of Nature.
The Swiss-based group New7Wonders, which last year held a worldwide poll to name the new seven man-made wonders of the world, is accepting votes for the greatest natural wonders.
From its list of 77 candidates, Niagara Falls is currently the 11th top vote-getter. The entire ranking can be seen at www.new7wonders.com.
Niagara Falls placed as high as second in January, then slipped to 16th in late February. The rankings are updated twice daily.
A panel of experts will select the top 21 finalists next January before letting the public choose the eventual top seven. The list will be revealed in the summer of 2010.
