[h=5]Last Wednesday, June 19, all those involved came together again to solve the remaining problems. It was Deputy Minister C?sar Jos? De los Santos, the entrepreneurs Jeffrey Raanick, Alfredo Valenzuela, Armando Corpas and engineer Mario M?ndez. The dredging of the cruise harbor will start in the coming days. When the first cruise ship will dock in the port of Maim?n, with hundreds of tourists, is not yet known. The cruise terminal will provide some 800 direct jobs. But it will also generate extra revenue for the other parts of Puerto Plata, Maim?n and hopefully Sos?a because passengers will visit these places and use the bars, restaurants and souvenir shops. It is said that cruise ship tourists spend an average of $ 97 for each port of call.[/h]
