Loser for tourism (From Daily Echo)

Surely if enough people had felt this way & used it the shop would still be there?

True, but that costs money to advertise. The Council could possibly add these small restaurants to their tourism database and help promote them imo.

The biggest thing people can do is if you eat at these cafes and co then tell others. Good service and good food deserves recognition and reward and its a sad fact of life the number of fast food joints we have in Southampton and the surrounding areas.

Theres a couple of good little restaurants at the bottom of east street, too. And a couple of nice cafes on Westend Rd in Bitterne too.

When I lived in Thailand Pattaya they actually produced a Magazine just for the tourists or to attract tourists .
I know Jeremy Moulton was trying to get this sort of thing & get the cruise companies tom put it on their ships for the passengers.
Maybe if all these places could get together & produce a Glossy Magazine for the cruise industry or the cruise ships run TV programs showing what Southampton & this area has to offer as I've seen this done on planes

City View magazine (the council one) kind of does something similar... perhaps they could use that and give a bunch to the airport and cruise terminals?

If you know any Labour councillors put it to them & see if they're willing to do it?

I was served a raw egg in The Buttery once and never went back.

How do you know what tourists would like to eat? I have eaten English food when I have been abroad!!!!! Naughty me ...
