The motion
That the Parliament congratulates the volunteers at Inverclyde Tourist Group on the group's tenth anniversary; recognises that the volunteers give up their time to welcome passengers from the many ships that dock at Greenock’s Ocean Terminal; notes that it is estimated that more than 50,000 passengers will visit Inverclyde in 2011 on board 36 cruise ships; further notes that the cruise ship industry has an estimated value to the Scottish economy of £32 million; welcomes the efforts of the group, decked out in Inverclyde tartan, in giving a warm and friendly welcome to visitors to Inverclyde and Scotland by providing free tours of Greenock, Gourock and Newark Castle, and acknowledges what it considers to be the vital role that these enthusiastic and knowledgeable local volunteers play in sustaining Scotland’s burgeoning tourist industry.
