NIAGARA FALLS, N.Y. (WKBW) — Visit Buffalo Niagara determines that tourism spending in Western New York has hit $2.2 billion surpassing pre-pandemic era. Several people in Niagara Falls are excited to see WNY rebounding and attracting more tourists than ever. 'That's showing that there is money coming back to our economy which would definitely help with the jobs that we lost along the way due to COVID,' says resident Kiara Santiago. Santiago tells 7 News reporter Yoselin Person that she hopes all of those tourism dollars go back into needed communities.
