India and The Bahamas would enter into Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to explore the possibilities of cooperation in the area of cruise shipping, which is expected to give a fillip to cruise tourism in the country.<\/P><\/p>\n
This was decided at a meeting between the Minister of Foreign Affairs and Public Service of the Bahamas Frederick Mitchell and the Union Shipping, Road Transport and Highways Minister Thiru T R Baalu here today. <\/P><\/p>\n
As the Government is formulating a cruise shipping policy to make India an attractive cruise tourism destination with state-of-the-art infrastructure and other facilities at selected ports of the country, the MoU with Bahamas may give a fillip to this plan keeping in view the experience of Bahamas in this area. <\/P><\/p>\n
