Vietnam’s Danang Port Company Limited and Singapore’s Cruise Centre Pte Ltd will establish a joint-venture company to develop an international tourist wharf to receive cruise ships at Danang’s Tien Sa Port, a local partner said.
The two partners will develop a modern tourist wharf with first class services for high-end travelers and promote cruise tourism in Danang and Singapore. Singapore Cruise Centre will help the local partner to bring more international cruise ships to the city.
“We have selected experts from both sides to discuss detailed contents about the tourist wharf’s construction as well as our investment contribution,” Thu said. He hoped the Singaporean partner, with more experience in operating cruise terminals, would help his company manage and operate the first cruise terminal in the city.
Singapore Cruise Centre manages and operates three ferry terminals and one cruise terminal in Singapore that handle more than eight million passengers annually.
According to the Danang City Tourism Promotion Center, foreign cruise passengers account for over 10% of international visitors to the city. The city welcomed 38 cruise ships last year with around 40,000 guests and expects to receive nearly 50,000 cruise passengers this year.
