Natural Attractions
With many natural features such as the Niagara Escarpment, miles of parks and beaches, not to mention Niagara Falls itself, it is not surprising that the Niagara region is host to more than 12 million visitors a year.
Tourism is a booming industry in this region. The region has an abundance of walking trails, cycling and driving routes, such as the Niagara Parkway that follows the Niagara River, to the Niagara Wine Route. The Niagara Wine Route connects at least 22 wineries, through some of the prettiest countryside in Ontario.
The Welland Canal, which is a true tourist attraction in its own right, is also one of the major factors in Niagara’s focus on transportation.
