Canadian Cruise Sector Urges Government to Engage with US to Rescue Industry

A group of Canadian cruise industry businesses and associations have called on the Government of Canada to “immediately engage with the U.S. federal government to develop a mutually beneficial and responsible approach which addresses the handling of cruise ships in Canadian waters and ports.” According to Walt Judas, CEO of Tourism Industry Association of BC, the group was pleased with the announcement that Canadian waters would be reopening to cruise ships back in NOV, “but the industry is not yet back operating, and the road map is still needed between industry partners, the Province of BC, and the Government of Canada. I am confident that solutions are imminent and that the industry will continue to remain a strong contributor to the provincial tourism economy.”
