The Tourism Commission has been engaging the cruise market and tourism industry on the development of a new cruise terminal in Hong Kong. Apart from developing hardware facilities, we consider it equally important to gauge market views on enriching our software development to enhance Hong Kong's position as a regional cruise hub. Advisory Committee on Cruise Industry (ACCI) provides an appropriate platform for taking forward the relevant work.
We established ACCI on 28 January 2008. This is part of the Government's plan to further develop Hong Kong into a regional cruise hub. With members from key players in the cruise market, tourism industry, and the Hong Kong Tourism Board , ACCI advises the Government on measures enhancing the development of Hong Kong as a regional cruise hub. Matters of priorities for ACCI include -
| (a) |
developing cruise tourism in Hong Kong and the region; |
| (b) |
fostering co-operation with neighbouring coastal provinces in the Mainland for cruise itinerary development; |
| (c) |
enhancing manpower supply to cater for the needs of the cruise market; and |
| (d) |
facilitating interim berthing arrangements of cruise vessels. |
