Do you people know what it means have media launch? Its just so the press/media knows what is happening….please stop displaying your ignorance.
So true. Sensing a bad elitist feeling.
If tourism is everybody,s business, why just a few people at Fort Young? Why not have it in the Gardens where much more people can take part.
They don’t want you or me there. We would get in the way of them handing out awards to each other … and The Funds.
