Cruise New Zealand chairman Debbie Summers said the organisation has done a first-class job in marketing the destination, but now is the time to ‘look within’ at what more needs to be done to keep the accelerated growth going.
‘We need to listen to what the cruise companies want and we have to look at infrastructure in particular,’ Summers said.
