  All cruise liners have the "fully inclusive" - apart from drinks Alexander.
  
  Congratulations to the one in Deal.
  
  I appreciate that not every B & B/Guest House in the World was visited, but it is still a great accolade for them.
  
  I'm not going to run down the Tourism Manager here as he is a very good guy, a very hard-working man who does more than most to try and promote Dover, but there is always more that could be done.
  
  Initiatives to smarten up the Town should be made - a good task for the Dover Chamber's Business Support Manager, if he's still there ?
  
  Working on making the market a success for one - is it still going ?
  
  Run-down buildings - writing to the owners about them.
  
  More litter bins and more enforcement on litter and dog-poo etc.
  
  More flowers
  
  More police presence to stop cars driving into the Market Square and then up Cannon Street and Biggin Street - applies to cyclists too of course.
  
  Cleaning schedule for chewing-gum removal.
  
  Some small things, but together they will make the Town look more attractive
  
  I know I've spoken about Group Travel (many times), but this is still very important and something we should be into, in a proper business-like way, but no one is prepared to do it.
  
  We have so much here it's a crime we don't promote it properly.
  
  A travel guide recently described Deal as "delightful", then went on to say about "Dodgy Dover seven miles down the road". Not good.
