To enhance the international recognition of the Yeosu cruise terminal, YGPA plans to participate in 'Seatrade Cruise Global 2025,' which will be held in Miami, USA, starting from the 7th of next month, where it will operate a promotional booth for Yeosu Port cruises and conduct B2B consultations and port sales targeting global cruise line officials.

President Park Sunghyun stated, "By attracting cruise ships, we expect Yeosu Port to emerge as an international cruise hub and play a pivotal role in revitalizing the local economy."
