BS Who would you say is Techniquest's core visitor?
((pause))
DB We've got the thing that we, we try and use the vehicle of the
education in order to bring in, the schools and then, the idea, whether or
not it works in practice is that, then the schools bring, the school kids
bring back their parents because you know, ultimately yes the parents have
quite a say in where they go but, but, the kids are going to say "we want
to go there." So, you need to get the kids to say to the parents "We will
go there" but then you need the parents to think "yeah, that'll be a good
place to go, it's easy to park, it's easy to- it's cheap to get in, there's
a restaurant there." All those other things about making decision to go into
a visitor attraction which is what we are. Our - our core visitor is the family.
Because, from a - money point of view we get very much more money, at the
door, for the, the family visitor. We get, a comparable amount of money, from
the, school kids. Because we get the, funding from the National Assembly.
So if you actually add, you know the actual level of funding there's not that-
too much difference. But, I think from a - We get many, many, many more family
visitors. Cause we're a third two-thirds schools, so, that's our core, our
core visitor is the family, which is probably not the ((laughs))
