The Shanghai Cruise Port saw a peak in inbound and outbound passenger flow during the National Day holiday, with multiple cruise ships berthing intensively to drive cultural tourism consumption.
China News Service, Shanghai, October 1 (Reporter Chen Jing) On the 1st, the Shanghai Cruise Port ushered in the first round of peak inbound and outbound passenger flow during the National Day holiday (October 1 to October 7).
On that day, the cruise ships "Ada Magic City" and "Ocean Spectrum" carried nearly 10,000 inbound passengers and docked at the Wusongkou International Cruise Port.
The reporter saw that passengers were concentrated in the border inspection hall, and there were obvious groups such as family tours and parent-child tours.

The densely berthing cruise ships not only drive consumption on the cruise ships such as leisure and entertainment, duty-free shopping, but also extend to the catering, accommodation, transportation, cultural tourism and other industries around the port through the "Cruise+" model, forming a consumption-stimulating effect of "one ship, one city".
