The Canterbury food and transport industries will be the biggest
benefactors from the increased cruise ship visits to Lyttelton this
summer.
Christchurch and Canterbury Marketing said figures from a domestic
travel study showed 23 per cent of cruise ship passenger's money went
towards food, while 29% went towards transport.
In total, the Canterbury economy would receive more than $13
million in direct expenditure by cruise ship passengers this season.
Christchurch and Canterbury Marketing communications manager John
McKenzie said many cruise ship companies were seeing New Zealand as a
"safe" destination to visit.
