Niagara Falls, Ontario - From a 1930s honeymoon to modern family fun, Niagara Falls Tourism’s “Visitors Blog” offers an engaging way to view the Falls through the years with photos, video and personal stories from Niagara vacations. The Visitors Blog is an innovative feature of Niagara Falls Tourism’s recently re-launched website, which also include its own television show, called FallsTV, and other helpful planning tools.

The Blog serves as a way for those who have been on a recent Niagara Falls vacation to post their own photos and experiences–simply sharing their good times with others and offering suggestions about Niagara Falls attractions. Blog visitors may read the entries chronologically or view them based on categories including: Celebrity Sightings, Falls Fun, Family Time, From the Past, Niagara Falls, Videos, Weddings and What to Do.

From photos of Marilyn Monroe during the filming of her 1953 movie Niagara to a black-and-white video of a couple on their honeymoon circa 1930, the Blog illuminates Niagara Falls’ significance as a cultural icon as much as a natural phenomenon. More than entertainment and reminiscences, though, it is chock full of interesting and useful information–currently including photos and history of the nightly Niagara Falls illumination as well as tidbits about Journey Behind the Falls.

Anna Pierce, Executive Director Niagara Falls Tourism, notes, “The Visitors Blog will take on a life of its own and as more people learn about it, the information will be almost entirely driven by what our visitors consider important or interesting about Niagara Falls. We are part of an important new wave in providing travel information.”

With the “Visitors Blog,” FallsTV and a compelling new design, the new www.niagarafallstourism.com offers visitors something of the compelling sights and sounds they will experience on their Niagara Falls vacation. Enhancing this virtual experience is practical information about Niagara hotel packages, restaurants, shopping and special events.
