Our commitment
- (1) Promotion for a cruise ship attraction
- We negotiate with both domestic and international shipping companies and travel agencies and strive to promote a cruise ship attraction in cooperation with each port.
- (2) Publicity and promotion
- We promote the Northwest Pacific Cruise by exhibiting displays at cruise fairs, updating and maintaining our own website, and holding the port briefing sessions for the further understanding of such cruises.
- (3) Initiatives with each port
- We share information with five local ports (see above) and work on both tangible infrastructural and intangible service-based improvements to strengthen each port's international competitiveness as a key cruise hub port.
