why cant we be like
why cant we be like the people/area of Flam in Norway?
Was there last week on a cruise. So neat and tidy, no rubbish, so clean. It is such a small place but its reputation far exceeds it's size. Apparently cruise ships are not allowed to have sail away parties when leaving Norwegian ports or at least some of them, due to noise macafee2 |

It seems that some countries are getting a bit fed up with Cruise Liners - have you seen the footage of the Liner that rams smaller boat/ship in Venice? |

Not sure if I recall the figure correctly but I think the cruise ships bring in 2 million passengers to Venice, just think what the financial loss of 2 million visitors could be. The cruise ships I've been on have thrusters front and rear and so are quite manoeuvrable. Venice is very expensive for the gondola's so perhaps the loss of customers will bring prices down. macafee2 |

I wonder when "we" are going to consider doing what is "right" or "good" rather than making money? There are some things that, for me, no amount of money can make up for - how about the extinction of a species because killing them or destroying their habitat is profitable? I realise that's not the same as tourists bringing cash to a community but I'm sure you see my point. Andy. |
