Agreed Paul (mostly!).
The thing that throws me is that Dover has brand recognition that most Companies/Destinations etc would die for.
You ask almost anyone anywhere on the planet what they associate with Dover and they will all come up with something even if it's only Vera Lynne!
Landing of Caesar. Roman Painted House.Hell Fire Corner. White Cliffs. Castle. Drop Redoubt. etc. etc
You can hardly turn a corner in Dover without tripping over some bit of the last two thousands years history of this sceptered isle (plus where the International Flat Earth Society was based!).
It really should be a must see destination for anyone living in or visiting the UK.
Why we have not tied in with English Heritage/National Trust and based our marketing strategy and investment on History, History, History I really don't know.
Why the Hell is Dover not listed as a World Heritage Site? Have we ever applied?
With all due respect to the citizens of New Lanark (listed 2001) surely we've got more of a case than them?
BTW I hear on the grapevine that Stonehenge is hoping to get a Nandos to increase its footfall
