The post you are reporting:
I've just been down to cruise ternminal 2 to take some day-passes for the cruise passengers who would like to visit the Royal Cinque Ports Yacht Club, on the sea-front.
Lots of people milling around as you'd expect and quite a queue at the Cruise-Welcome desk, where there was one person working on the currency exchange counter and one on helping the cruise-passengers.
The Lady was working well and helping people when they wanted to inquire how to get to Leeds Castle or Walmer Castle etc. But there was only the one greeter and I know they are volunteers, but unless others were off sick (but there must be a pool of people who can be called upon for help), it was simply not enough, especially when you think there were 3 ships in, 2 at cruise terminal 2 and 1 at 1.
It also showed me quite graphically, how much is needed, a Discover Dover leaflet. A leaflet that has, sorry had, all of Dover's historic sites and attractions in it, a map of the Town showing where they are and of course the good quality shops, pubs, restaurants and cafes.
Don't get me wrong, there are other leaflets down there, but none of them so comprehensive as the Discover Dover leaflet.
Unless someone is going to get a grip with this Town-Team Manager/Co-ordinator and get things moving as regards the Town and Tourism, it will be another year where we have a lot of frustrated cruise-passengers and visitors. I'm not after a job, but someone should be.
