Tourism Infrastructure: Niagara Falls opened the rebuilt Cataract Stairs and Overlook (formerly “Crow’s Nest”), adding a safer, closer viewing route to ease Maid of the Mist congestion. Air & Safety: Carnival Adventure faced odor complaints on Sydney sailings; regulators say the issue was not present during inspection but remedial work is underway. Regional Growth: Goa reported strong visitor numbers and aims to market monsoon and year-round experiences. Business & Connectivity: Pakistan’s SECP registered 4,761 new companies in August, signaling continued business formalisation that can support tourism supply chains.
