As an owner of an iconic historic restaurant in Norfolk, we notice immediate positive customer flows whenever the ships are here. We also serve hundreds of passengers when the German cruise ships dock downtown. These tourists add much needed revenue to the local economy, as well as much needed tax revenues. I feel that the further regulation and restrictions suggested will discourage the dockings here and force these much-desired tourists to skip the Norfolk stop altogether. The dockings here truly add much to the local economy!
