    ALBANY, N.Y. — New York State is launching a cross-border advertising campaign aimed at attracting Canadians to upstate New York's ski areas and other winter destinations.
     
    Gov. Andrew Cuomo has announced that an additional $500,000 will be spent for tourism promotion, including newspaper and radio advertisements in French and English in eastern Canada, as well as ad campaigns across upstate New York.
     
    Canadians account for the largest number of international travellers to New York state, with some 4.2 million visitors annually.
