"This is more than just tourism it's economic growth, job creation, investment and prosperity, Ford said. According to Ford, the strategy will unlock the region's full potential, focusing on five pillars: attractions, transportation, gaming, wine and restaurants, and arts and culture. Potential projects include a theme park and others redevelopments and revitalizations, said a news release from the province."
"The region's new tourism strategy will also expand the Queen Elizabeth Way in Niagara, further increasing GO transit service to the region and issuing requests to improve air access. Ford also added the strategy will revitalize the Niagara District Airport so more flights and "bigger planes" can land in the Niagara Region. Together, we're going to build a place that welcomes families from across our province and across the world, he said."
A multibillion-dollar strategy aims to add attractions and service expansions in Niagara Falls and the Niagara Region to drive economic growth, job creation, investment and prosperity. The plan focuses on five pillars: attractions, transportation, gaming, wine and restaurants, and arts and culture. Proposed projects include a theme park, redevelopments, a hotel at the former Toronto Power Generating Station, and private-sector partnerships for Niagara Parks. Transportation improvements include expanding the Queen Elizabeth Way, increasing GO Transit service, and revitalizing Niagara District Airport to accommodate more flights and larger aircraft. The objective is to attract 25 million annual visitors and double the region's tourism impact, generating an estimated $3 billion additional GDP annually.
