"the economic contribution from visiting cruise ships could rise from the current level of £1.3m. to up to £6m. a year." That little sentence has puzzled me somewhat Does 'economic contribution' mean a 6M actual tax take or does it mean those passengers who will bother to come ashore will spend 6M on goods and services during their few hours on the island? If the answer is they will SPEND 6M ashore I would guess that after all legal business tax deductions are taken into account the actual tax take will probably be somewhere nearer 10% of that 6M ... 600K per year Perhaps this is one for Ed's brain to work out but I make it that at that rate it will take 305 years to recoup the 183M initial cost of this cruise liner berth JUST SAY NO
