That rules out many "archaeo-tourists". From an entertainment/shopaholic standpoint, maybe there will be some takers. But would that exceed the current throng who frequent the Shopping festivals etc; is debatable. MBS is trying to diversify revenue streams (understandably) but it feels like build it and they will come. The lamp is flickering brighter but is it at its brightest yet ?
