Tourism
Tourism in Canada is big business and that’s certainly the case in Niagara Falls. While the majority of the over 14 million tourists that arrive in Niagara each year are domestic travelers, over 3 million come from the United States and approximately 1 million are from overseas. When they arrive, there is plenty for them to see and do. New attractions, resorts, hotels, and experiences await. Niagara Falls is a global destination with an established tourism infrastructure that’s continually evolving to meet the ever-changing demands of business and vacation travelers.
Tourism spending in the region is over $2 billion annually and has a significant impact on the local economy. It is estimated that every $100 million increase in direct revenue in tourism produces an indirect output of $69 million. A total of 40,000 people are working in Niagara’s tourism industries, including accommodation, food services, arts, culture, recreation, and entertainment. The size and significance of the tourism sector in Niagara means that businesses that choose to operate here can leverage a wide range of supports developed by stakeholders over decades.
