La Línea eyes Gibraltar tourism

GIBRALTAR / LA LÍNEA

Cash-strapped La Línea Council is eyeing Gibraltar's tourism industry by offering shore tours to cruise ship passengers, according to The Gibraltar Chronicle. The council wants to tap a slice of the lucrative market by attracting passengers across the border with tours centred on gastronomy, flamenco and golf, a scheme presented at the Seatrade Cruise Shipping Convention held recently in Miami, the industry’s premier trade event. A new marina is nearing completion and the town has ambitious plans for  a new leisure complex in the border area.
