The city is looking to be an international cruise destination with the Mumbai Port Trust giving high priority to developing this sector under its new business plan. The Mumbai Port is transforming itself to become the gateway of international cruise in the country and a leading hub of automobile exports, a top official said. They are investing in a new international cruise terminal which will be opening shortly. Internationally, the cruise business is a trillion-dollar industry but India is not getting even one per cent of that business. Meanwhile, the Mumbai Port Trust is developing a marina which will open up a sea front for recreational purposes.
