SLIVER OF A SILVER LINING? Chauffeured operators are looking for any sliver of good news amid a declining economy and falling reveneues. Well, we found one: international tourists. American visa rules have been loosened this year and foreign tourism is up. Global visitors tend to spend more amid the dazzling distractions and amenities of America. Some of that travel budget should be going toward chauffeured transportation. Americans may be staying at home and cutting back, but many visitors from around the globe could provide a market opp for much needed revenues. -- M.R.
