The first total solar eclipse visible from Canada in nearly 45 years will bring a wave of one million tourists to the Niagara Falls area.
April 8 will see a total solar eclipse along the path of the waterfalls on the border between the United States and Canada. It is the first time Canadians will experience a solar eclipse from their country since 1979. The next time Canada will see a total solar eclipse will be 20 years from now in 2044.
A million tourists are anticipated to flood into the area on both sides of the border. Normally, the town sees 14 million guests over the course of a year. As a result, hotels have raised their prices, which are normally $70 to $140 a night, to upward of $730. “We expect the eclipse to bring the largest influx of visitors we’ve ever seen to Niagara Falls USA,” President and CEO of Destination Niagara USA John Percythat even though they successfully booked rooms at the Wyndham Garden Niagara Falls Fallsview for a reasonable price of $73 per night, their reservations were revoked “due to an unforeseen extension in the stay duration of a large group currently accommodated at our hotel.
“We are facing constraints regarding room availability. Regrettably, this means we must cancel your reservation,” an email to guests read. New York City will be sending a vintage train from the city to Niagara Falls that tourists can book for $4,000 a person. The train is a two-car train that can sleep a total of 21 guests in its respective cars. Tickets include drinks, meals, and a pair of eclipse glasses over the three-day trip.
