Summary
The purpose of this e-book is to provide a backdrop to tourism challenges and solutions in the Niagara Region, and to present the key points discussed during the 2007 WHATT roundtable discussion in the Niagara Region, Canada. The rationale for the e-book is that the private sector and academia must work together in identifying the root causes for key problems and then find practical solutions. Often it is the public sector that leads this process, but it was felt that the private sector and academia should become proactive in finding practical solutions.
