travel suggestion around toronto

Niagara Falls, is without a doubt the best place to go because:

1- it’s a natural wonder of the world ... one of NA’s / Canada’s best

2- it’s awesome year round, no matter the weather ... can never get too much of seeing the Falls.
All that water 750,000 Gallons (2.83 Million Litres) A SECOND... yup A SECOND. Unbelievable.
And oh so mesmerizing. It’s like a magnet... cannot be in Southern Ontario, and not go look at The Falls.

3- it’s close to TO ... and easy to get to (about 2 Hours out the QEW)

So all you gotta do is find a nice decent roads type of day to make the drive

Ya I hear you... you are not alone in your beef.

But the truth is these Tourist Area Improvement Fees - Tourist Zone Fees - Municipal Hotel Taxes exist in lots of MAJOR CITIES and Well known Tourist Destinations around the world ... and the accountability on them all is pretty shakey

It is what it is

The one thing about NIagara Falls is in most places if you complain, they’ll remove it (at least as long as it’s an informal situation *) ... not so if it’s listed as a Municipal Tax like it is in so many other Destinations (ie St John’s & Halifax)

* In fact The Province of Ontario has just last year now OFFICIALLY ALLOWED ONTARIO MUNICIPALITIES to collect a 4% Hotel Tax...
Ottawa began Jan 1, 2018
Toronto is slotted for April 1, 2018

And Niagara Falls will no doubt go that route fairly soon... then it’s a full fledge Tax, and no loophole for the Customer to get out of.
