Adelaide to host major cruise conference as state gets set for record-breaking season
Ahead of the first cruise ship of the 2023-24 season arriving in South Australia next month, the nation’s peak cruise industry body has confirmed Adelaide will host its 2024 annual conference.
The vote of confidence in the state’s cruise sector by the Australian Cruise Association (ACA) comes as South Australia gets set for a record-breaking number of ship visits from October.
With 124 scheduled cruise and expedition ship visits, it is a new all-time high well surpassing last season’s 103 visits which brought more than 227,900 passengers and crew to the state. It also tops the 82 visits made in 2018-19 when the sector contributed $145 million to the economy.
