All things Niagara Falls tourism…
Someone with a Wordpress blog posted about a recent trip to Niagara Falls:
…I charged down Clifton Hill towards the river. Yes, there are the falls, I noted grimly, while every single other tourist oohed and aahed, I haven’t come to the wrong country after all, oh aren’t they special, there’s s***loads of water, brilliant, next please. Wait a second, Ostrowski, I reprimanded myself, you’ve just paid about $60 for the bus and train journey alone - you might as well try and enjoy it.
And I did…
From the Niagara Falls Review:
Tim Parker was wrong when he predicted a 10 per cent decline in the city’s tourism industry this year.
But the general manager of Ripley’s Niagara Falls said he’s not sorry.
“If I could retract my story from June, I would,” Parker said this week, after a day filled with strategic planning for the 2009 season. “We actually sort of recovered since then and my prediction of being 10 per cent down is sort of dissipating.
“Every week, we’re a little bit up or we’re even.”
From the Niagara Falls Review:
Ten months after registering the Fallsview trademark, Crystal Beach entrepreneur Steven Alek has inked a deal to place the name in the public domain.
The Review has learned Alek and the Fallsview Business Improvement Area signed off on an agreement July 3, which will see the BIA take over ownership of the trademark “for $1 and other good and valuable consideration paid by the (Fallsview BIA) to (Alek).”
“Everything worked out to be very amicable for everyone involved,” Alek said, adding he is “ecstatic” at the arrangements.
