  I've heard about these of course John, but not sure if they will catch on here - do you think we have enough visitors/tourists coming here ?
  
  Horace does sterling work in the Market Square on cruise days; there's a bus (buses) to bring people into Town from the cruise terminals; there's a "cruise welcome desk" at the cruise terminal(s), but the welcomers/greeters are told, emphatically told, to be re-active not pro-active.
  
  The whole set-up for cruise passengers coming into Dover is designed to be unhelpful and I'm not talking about those who are going on a day-excursion, but those who want to discover our Town and its history.
  
  There's enough information at the cruise welcome desk, but waiting behind a desk for people to approach it, is the wrong way to promote Dover - be out there, talking to the cruise passengers - the difference will be obvious as to who is a passenger going on an organised excursion and who is going to come into Town, so it should be encouraged, so that Dover businesses (and I'm not talking about taxi and bus companies) can get a bigger bite of the cake.
