DARWIN will host its largest
contingent of Chinese cruise ship
passengers today with about 400
tourists from China among the
700 visitors arriving on board
Superstar Virgo.
“Today’s visit by Superstar
Virgo will help raise the profile
of the Northern Territory in the
region as the Chinese visitors
share photos and stories of their
stopover with family and friends
on social media,” said NT minister
for Asian Engagement & Trade,
Peter Styles.
Styles said the Greater China
outbound market was one of the
fastest growing in the world and
the NT government was doubling
its marketing budget in the region
to help attract more visitors.
As part of the stopover
passengers will visit Crocodylus
Park and the Spectacular Jumping
Crocodile Cruise at Adelaide River.
Darwin is the ship’s final port of
call in Australia during its current
season.
