Plans for Hakata-Shanghai Regular Cruise Ship Route

Fukuoka City will work with the management company in charge of the Port of Shanghai to establish a regular cruise line route between the ports of Hakata and Shanghai. Once established, the route will be one of the first of its kind in Asia. The move also looks to bring in tourists to Fukuoka, improve the economy in the local region, and develop the Asian cruise ship market. Source: Yomiuri Shimbun, 2/1/2018
