FOREIGN?INVESTMENT and rewards for the average Barbadian have been put forward as major benefits of legislation to facilitate the extension of hours of cruise ships.
Those features were identified by Government Senator Andre Worrell, who gave enthusiastic support to the Cruise Ships (Opening Of Facilities)?Bill 2012 during debate in the Upper Houseyesterday morning.
Worrell said the legislation would provide an opportunity for cruise ships to dock longer in the Bridgetown Port and allow passengers to spend more time in local establishments.
He made it clear that tourism was much more than hotels. (MK)
