Destination Niagara USA is the official Destination Marketing Organization (DMO) for Niagara County, including the iconic Niagara Falls.
At Destination Niagara USA, we have the incredibly fun job of inspiring leisure and business travelers to explore not only the iconic waterfalls but everything else that we have to offer across our expansive and diverse destination.
We are a private non-profit with a mission to expand the economic prosperity of the Niagara Falls USA communities by generating individual and group visitation.
The impact of Destination Niagara USA extends far beyond inspiring visitation to the Falls and the surrounding communities. Tourism creates a significant economic impact in Niagara County, allowing our region to further evolve into a place that people not only want to visit, but live, work and invest.
