If these figures are confirmed at the end of the season, then a record will set up for the Port of Bilbao, with a 25% increase.<\/p>\n<p>The Port representatives state that \u201cthe cruise industry hopes to grow 5% worldwide, driven by the Asian countries, Australia and the Middle East. In this scenario, the Basque Country can grow in the short and medium term because it presents different attractions to the Mediterranean which is what cruise vessel owners are now seeking and calling for in order to satisfy an ever increasingly demanding public.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The cruise season begins in April this year and, at present, is scheduled to end in October. However, it has not been ruled out that calls for November and December may be confirmed in the coming months. \u201cThe season is never closed in this sector. There can always be changes and we can always work to achieve new calls. That\u2019s the situation right now,\u201d they conclude.<\/p>\n<p>Based on present data, of the 55 scheduled cruise visits, eight will be visiting the Basque Country for the first time, and twelve vessels will be \u201calmost three times longer than a football field.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><\/div><div class=\"clear\"><\/div><\/p>\n <div class=\"hide-for-small page-options-container hide-for-print\"> <hr class=\"page-options\"\/> <ul class=\"inline right page-options\"><li><a class=\"bmprint\" rel=\"nofollow\" title=\"Print this article\"><i class=\"icon-print\"><\/i><\/a><\/li><li><a class=\"bmsend2friend\" href=\"mailto:?subject=Article of interest: The Port of Bilbao promotes the Basque County at the most important cruise fair in the world -
