Hong Kong has turned a former airport into an HK$8.2 billion ($1.1 billion) cruise terminal as the city seeks to woo wealthy Chinese travelers to help it become Asia’s hub for luxury liners.
The terminal, built at the city’s former Kai Tak Airport, will open on a public holiday today. Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd., one of the operators, expects to draw mostly Chinese tourists to travel from the iconic Victoria Harbour, said Zinan Liu, regional vice president for the Miami-based company.
