We would have gone to that Roger but they didnt tell us it was on..if they cant even get their message out in Dover well.... I dunno. Could have given that frontpage picture coverage as we have carried much tourism stuff in the past with a lot of viewers.
But from a tourism point of view I hope it works. One of the biggest revenue earners these days is tourism and Dover could certainly use an influx.. But I wasnt there so I dont know what was said, but they would need to start with the loss of tapable income from the Cruise Liners. I have some stats here..hold on...yes here we are..
details from a recent Cruise Liner visit from 'a reliable source'
2200 passengers onboard
36 coaches came to pick them up
32 coaches went to London and thereabouts
4 coaches went to Canterbury
0 coaches came to Dover
although to be fair some will have walked into town. But generally at a glance you can see Dover is somewhat bypassed. Just to add...there is also a shuttle bus direct to and from The Castle.
