Community Conversation On Cruise - Ōtepoti

The cruise ship industry has become an hot topic in Aotearoa lately, with cruise advocates highlighting the perceived economic benefits, while environmental campaigners lament the damage the cruise industry does to the natural world.

We invite you to attend our community conversation on cruise this December 12th 6pm at the Pioneer Hall, Port Chalmers. There will be climate protesters and cruise industry tourism operators, each making their case for and against the cruise industry.

We will provide refreshments. Our guest speakers will each have 5 minutes to make their case. Then an independent facilitator will open the floor to the audience to ask questions or make comments on the issue of cruise ships and their effect on the local economy and environment. All welcome.
