## Resource

Gisborne is set for a major cruise ship boom this summer, with bookings up 50% from last year — the only North Island port seeing growth while others see declines. Despite a recent dip due to weather, the jump signals renewed tourism potential, with local businesses like The Wharf Bar & Grill hoping for more weekend foot traffic. With the first ship arriving in December, regional leaders are rallying to keep Gisborne competitive on the global cruise map.
