From the Niagara Falls Review:
Ontarians appear to be checking out their own back yards. Trips by Americans have declined this year, but the province saw a five per-cent increase in domestic travel, says Monique Smith, the province’s new tourism minister.
Smith is learning the ropes in tourism after Premier Dalton McGuinty moved her into that portfolio from the provincial revenue ministry last week.
“I’ve been spending a lot of time in briefings and… getting up to speed on the issues of the tourism industry,” Smith said in an interview about her new job.
She plans to visit Niagara at least three times before Christmas.
