TASPORTS has insisted it is at the forefront of maintaining sustainability for the state’s rapidly-expanding cruise sector.
Reports from the ABC have seen calls to manage cruise ship visitor growth to the Apple Isle, with some tourist hotspots overwhelmed, but TasPorts insists it is part of the solution, not the problem.
A TasPorts spokesperson told Cruise Weekly the organisation had been included in the Regional Anchorages Working Group, “which has been established to develop a clear framework around the growth of cruise shipping into regional Tasmanian areas alongside Tourism Tasmania, Marine and Safety Tasmania, Parks and Wildlife, the Environmental Protection Agency and Regional Tourism Organisations.”
“TasPorts has been a key stakeholder and is supportive of the recently released Sustainable Cruising Blueprint by Government.”
