After years of staying home because of passport requirements American tourists are back and making the most of their strong dollar. Tens of thousands of tourists came to Niagara Falls from all over the United States this weekend and the absolute beauty of the falls was the main attraction.

The American dollar is worth 1.28 Canadian right now. Combine that with beautiful weather and you have the perfect conditions for American tourists. This will be the busiest July 4th since 2007 in Niagara Falls.
