DPF - Destination Promotion Fee

We enjoyed our trip to the Falls during October, 2009. I questioned the taxes, including the DPF of 3%. Also added to our bill was the GST of 5% and the provincial sales tax, which varied from 5% to 10%. These taxes add up, and the GST is no longer refundable to visitors from the U.S..

It sure seems odd to make visitors pay for one's own promotion. I also wonder where this money is really going, and I don't like it.
