The Regional Secretary for the Economy, Vasco Cordeiro, gave instructions to the Portos dos Açores, S.A. company today to reinforce the information concerning the dates and the characteristics the of cruise ships that stop at the Azorean ports.
Taking advantage of the stopover of cruise ships and subsequently of the tourists are the main goals of this measure, which will be implemented both through monthly information to the Chambers of Commerce and through information provided on the Internet.
This decision was taken following the contacts developed by the Regional Secretariat for the Economy, and it has also been decided that meetings should be held between the representatives of the Portos dos Açores S.A. and the organisations of the Regional traders, in order to develop joint animation activities whenever a cruise ship stops at Regional ports.
