From the Niagara Falls Review:
The trips arranged by Lezlie Harper Wells are a hit with U.S. African Americans.
Since 2004, she’s helped co-ordinate 600 American group sojourns to explore Niagara’s rich black history and its Underground Railroad that helped free U.S. slaves.
However, new passport rules at the U.S. border and a sick economy has meant 30 per cent less U.S. business compared to last year.
It’s all part of a general slump in American tourism to this area that many in the industry are noticing.
