From today's Sosua News:
[h=5]Several newspapers reported that the construction of the cruise port in Maim?n (near Puerto Plata) will start within 14 days. The construction of this for tourism so important port, has been delayed because of disagreement over a garbage dump and the ownership documents of the area.[/h][h=5]The owners of the cruise company, 'Carnival Cruises' first wanted certainty on these issues before the construction to begin. It is hoped that if the terminal is ready, a large number of tourists can be welcomed every day. The cruise terminal will also create 800 jobs. But it will also generate for the rest of Puerto Plata, Sos?a and Maim?n additional revenue because passengers will (hopefully) visit these places and make use of the bars, restaurants and souvenir shops. Because it is said that cruise tourists at every port of call spend an average of $ 97.[/h]
