WA targets cruise

THE West Australian Govt has committed to “actively pursuing three new cruise lines to add WA ports to their itineraries” under a twoyear action plan to boost the number of visitors to the state.

The strategy also aims to establish Broome as a “desirable and accessible circumnavigation port,” and a WA touchpoint destination for new lines once dredging has been completed in 2019.

The plan also involves working with industry to develop new customised shore-excursion experiences and across government on solutions for port infrastructure issues in Exmouth.
