Once they arrive, they realize that there are people everywhere. As a result, it can be hard to get a good view of the falls. Some may realize Niagara Falls is not all that it’s hyped up to be. Others are thrilled that they got to visit the impressive phenomenon. It all depends on the expectations one has about it.

Advertisers provide tourists with both excitement and comfort by balancing the portrayal of differences and similarities between destinations and western-civilization which are both tactics depicted by Wendy Hesford and Brenda Brueggemann in "Travelling Gazes: Shaping Mobile Identities".
