Meanwhile, in December 2022, a transformative partnership was forged between Destination Niagara Falls and Ownera Media, with a shared vision to maximize Niagara's market share on the world stage of tourism. Against the backdrop of one of the world's most recognizable destinations, Niagara Falls, two leading marketing organizations launched a new travel and tourism venture aimed at unlocking the region's full economic potential.
New Tourism Initiative to Push Niagara Falls Further on World Stage
As Joyce Morocco, Founder of Destination Niagara Falls, emphasized, “The industry has always been strong and vibrant in Niagara, yet there remains unrealized potential for further growth especially as it relates to our shoulder season and our international visitor attraction.” While Rowe Prudente, Founder of Ownera Media, conveyed "Niagara's past and current approach in attracting its market must be re-analyzed, re-imagined, and re-publicized meaningfully and purposefully to appeal to this generation and the generations to come." With combined resources and expertise, Destination Niagara Falls and Ownera Media set out to be the leading force in Canada's inbound travel and tourism, with a strong focus on growth, profitability, and repeat business.
The partnership aims to capitalize on Niagara's natural potential to expand and enhance its tourism offering, securing itself as a destination of choice by focusing on quality experiences accessible throughout all seasons. Through strategic collaboration with private and institutional investors, tourism service providers, conservation authorities, and government agencies, Destination Niagara Falls and Ownera Media seek to further explore Niagara's market share potential through strengthened travel and tourism stakeholder and consumer relationships and innovation.
Together, these two initiatives represent a paradigm shift in Canada's approach to tourism, leading the charge towards a future where Canada stands proudly among the world's top tourist destinations. As we embark on this transformative journey, one thing is clear: the future of Canadian tourism has never looked brighter.
