Recently, during a very frustrating period of time when I was trying to get Economic Development Committee members to understand my point of view, I ate lunch at a local Chinese restaurant. The fortune in the cookie I received? "Today, your mouth might be moving but no one is listening." Enough said. Boy, do I agree!

Tours surely help. Singapore does this very well, I reckon. At Changi Airport they have specific city tours especially designed for Transit passengers. When you sign-up for these tours they assist you with the visas. Further then, through out the tour they travel along some fabulous infrastructures and promote the Green side of their roads which amounts to a cooler climate (while dismissing HongKong for its heat). They also explain the housing trends of the city. The tour is design so that at the end of the tour, the passenger feels good about the city and consequently becomes a potential lead towards investment. Anyways, it is evidently noticaeble that the investements they target vary from corporate to housing (wide range). I agree with you Ed. Tours surely help. Singapore does this very well, I reckon.
