National Tourism Week, which takes place from June 7 to June 11 was celebrated across the nation with several celebrations encouraging people to get out and enjoy the country. Nowhere was this more evident than in the celebration that kicked off in Niagara Falls where a celebration at the Ontario Travel Information Centre where Niagara Falls tours were heavily-promoted for the upcoming summer season. Hoping to encourage Niagara Falls tour packages, the Centre promoted the event partially due to the 300,000 Ontario residents that are employed either directly or indirectly by the tourism industry.

Summer has been long-touted as a popular travel season because of the great weather most regions encounter along with the summer vacation time that most children receive from school. This combination makes tours of Niagara Falls or other New York tour packages particularly popular. National Tourism Week has been seen as a way to kick off the summer travel season and stimulate travel for people in America.
