Townsville will host the Australian Cruise Association Conference in 2020, bringing together 120 industry experts from Australia and overseas.
Port of Townsville CEO Ranee Crosby said hosting the conference was timely for Townsville as it comes during the Port’s $193 million investment to widen the navigational channels.
“We have a very strong focus on growing cruise visits, and our channel widening project will enable us to accommodate the larger ships visiting Queensland to our world-class cruise ship terminal,’’ she said.
