    Yes, pretty much :)

    I'm not sure how exactly it works at GOV but in many hotels the hotel doesn't have a lot to do with the companies that sell tours.

    The tour companies buy a 'concession' from the hotel. That is they pay to rent a space there and have access to the guests to sell tours. The hotel makes money from selling the concession only. The tour companies make money from commission paid by the tour operator. Sometimes the guys that sell the tours will come up with their own tour concepts or copy other successful ones- and become 'the operator', putting all the pieces together themselves. The 'one and only' TTR copycat Boobs Cruise being a similar example.

    In many cases they'll see if they can get the sales first and then try and scrabble around trying to put the thing together. Usually, they don't really care whether the guests have a good time or not, since they probably wont see them again. As you know, we operate a little differently to that and take a longer term view.

    I prepared and sent my proposal to operate the Boobs Cruise direct from GOV today and am hoping it receives a favourable response. It will be reviewed at owner level so fingers crossed!

    Steve, that would be great to be able to leave right from the GOV. It would probably help a lot to get the party started.

    We actually should do a roll call and see who be interested in going on a Boob Cruise and then maybe Steve could make sure that there is one going to happen during our week ???

    We would love to do a cruise...so much fun :)

    Thank you continuing to update the progress of GOV and comparing differences. We will be booking for a mid-July stay. Spend a few days at GOV then to TTR. But we will be going on at least one Boob Cruise if not two while visiting both resorts. Looking forward to the July Boob Cruise dates
