THE Mexican city of Puerto Vallarta, pictured, is set to welcome a new cruise terminal in time for the northern summer cruising season.
Carlos Gerard, founder of the private company responsible for building the new terminal, Puerto Magico, told local media that the new terminal is not an attempt to directly compete with the ports in the south of the country, but instead “all the other ports in the world”.
“Our main objective is to become more competitive as a port destination …we’re a team,” he said.
The new terminal will be set on Pier 1, which handles approximately 80% of cruise calls to the region, with plans calling for a “spacious welcome centre of over 27,870m2”.
