Tourism revenue in six major Canadian cities fell by more than C$1 billion ($760 million) from early March to October as fear of the SARS virus, the Iraq war and a strong Canadian dollar kept visitors away, a study released on Monday shows. Tourism revenue in Toronto between March 2 and Oct. 11 was about C$513 million lower than in the same period the year before, the biggest decline in the country, a study by accounting and consulting firm KPMG showed. Nearby Niagara Falls, Ontario, had the third-largest fall at C$144 million.
