A further R37 million (€2.4 million) investment for the upgrade of the exterior of Cape Town’s Cruise Terminal in E Berth at the Port of Cape Town was announced on Thursday.
The two floors immediately above the terminal portion will be developed to accommodate a restaurant and events space. The investment of phase one and phase two totals R50 million. Initial upgrades included upgrades to the reception and waiting areas, baggage handling services, immigration and customs facilities, as well as infrastructure.
Plans to upgrade the remaining space are currently being tested and will be announced as the next phase of development.
V&A Waterfront, who have been operating the terminal since December 2015, intend to develop and run the terminal building as a multi-use facility to bring activity year round. “The Cruise Terminal represents our first opportunity to welcome visitors to Cape Town, so it is important that their first impression is a good one,” said David Green, V&A Waterfront CEO. “From international experience, we know that the cruise line industry offers enormous potential for tourism growth, so our intention is to ensure that we extend the V&A Waterfront experience to the terminal.”
The V&A Waterfront will also work with South African Tourism and Wesgro to grow demand.
