All things Niagara Falls tourism…
From the Medina Gazette:
My husband and I try to take advantage of three-day weekends whenever possible, so we figured it would be the perfect time to drive to Niagara Falls, Ontario. This Canadian city boasts the best view the Horseshoe Falls, one of the world’s most illustrious icons.
From Niagara This Week:
One of Niagara Falls’ oldest hotels will close its doors forever in two weeks, making way for further redevelopment on the ever-changing Clifton Hill.
The Quality Inn, which first opened in the 1950s, will close Oct. 13, completing a series of changes already seen throughout the once expansive property.
Once considered the largest hotel in the area, the inn featured the Fallsview restaurant and the popular Thunderbird Room night club, which hosted regular live entertainment for locals and tourists alike.
According to Pat Clary, the hotel’s director of marketing, the inn will be demolished and replaced by various retail establishments and restaurants.
“The hotel isn’t being sold, it’s closing,” Clary said. “This is merely because the land was not being used properly.”
The property is still owned by the Oakes family, the iconic family behind many businesses on the Hill.
From Buffalo Business First:
Meeting planners from a handful of New York state associations will be in Niagara Falls this week as the Niagara Tourism & Convention Corp. makes a pitch to land their business.
The planners will be in Niagara Falls for three days, beginning Wednesday, for a familiarization, or “fam” tour.
“These types of ‘fam’ tours are important to our business because the best way to sell the area is to have the meeting planners come and experience it first hand,” said John Percy, NTCC president and chief executive officer.
I can’t remember how I came across this the other day, but regardless, apparently there is a hotel in the area that is for sale. I don’t know which one it is…
Someone with a Blogger blog posted about a recent trip to Niagara Falls:
We just went away overnight, but it was very refreshing. We spent Thursday at Niagara Falls. If you have never visited Niagara Falls, you are definitely missing something amazing. We’ve been three or four other times ourselves (and James probably countless times beyond that), but we enjoy it so much every time we go. It kinda felt like we were on our honeymoon.
