KEITH Pitt, the Federal Assistant Minister for Trade, Tourism and Investment, this morning confirmed recent discussions with the New South Wales Government about Sydney’s cruise infrastructure problems and possible access for cruise ships to Garden Island.
Pitt was the opening presenter at Tourism Australia’s Destination Australia conference, and was questioned about how cruising’s growth is being hampered by a lack of berths in Sydney Harbour.
