Rockland to launch cruise tourism research initiative

The City of Rockland said April 17 that it is initiating research: “to provide the community with the data and analysis it needs to make informed decisions about the future of cruise tourism. The initiative is designed to foster community self-determination—grounding upcoming policy choices in current industry realities, transparent information, and the priorities of Rockland’s 2022 Comprehensive Plan.”

Consultant Sarah Fink, who is with the Portland-based Spring Line Group, LLC, will undertake the research and data analysis with the help of Brenda Garrand, a tourism management professional who represents the PortShare Promise portion of the project.
