“The terminal’s strategic location next to a major international airport is a game-changer for travelers looking to combine air travel with cruise vacations,” the magazine notes.

- Diverse cruise itineraries for travelers who want to explore multiple destinations without large port congestion.
- Creation of thousands of jobs and a significant boost to the regional economy.
