QINGDAO, China, March 28, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- The
Ground-Breaking and Global Business Promotion Ceremony of Qingdao
International Cruise Terminal Area was held at Qingdao Port on
March 28. Wang Qingxian, member of
the Standing Committee of CPC Shandong Provincial Committee and
Secretary of CPC Qingdao Municipal Committee, addressed the event,
and Qingdao Mayor Meng Fanli presided over the ceremony. At
10:52am, Wang Qingxian announced the
start of construction of Qingdao International Cruise Terminal Area
as well as the launch of global business promotion for it.
Over 100 construction workers attended the event with their
excavators, trucks and other construction tools, being prepared to
get to work. The People's Government of Qingdao signed a cooperation agreement with
Shandong Port Group, and inked contracts with a number of partners
for 14 industrial projects with a total investment of RMB31.35 billion.
Qingdao International Cruise Terminal Area is a major area for
the implementation of Qingdao's
development strategy transformed from the old Qingdao Port, a
significant deployment focusing the city's goal of building a new
platform for international cooperation under the country's Belt and
Road Initiative, and a historic project for the city's development
over the next 100 years. It boasts a 9-kilometer shoreline and a
4.2-square-kilometer land area, with a total planned construction
area of 5.39 million square meters.
The transformation and renovation of the area will play a big
part in the upgrading and development of the city's historic urban
zones. The area will include the Lehaifang zone featuring modern
vitality and fashion, the Tanhaifang zone for ocean exploration,
the Shanghaifang zone for high-end cruise services, the Tonghaifang
zone for ocean-related innovation and integration, and the
Juhaifang zone with comprehensive high-quality living facilities.
The zones will add radiance to each other. The project will be
carried out in three stages, namely the early, middle and final
stages, aiming to realize all-around transformation and upgrading
of the port area. It will become a main carrier for Qingdao's construction of the International
Shipping Trade and Financial Service Innovation Center, a source of
ideas for global resource matching, and the core zone of the
China (Qingdao) Pilot Zone for Development of Cruise
Tourism.
Relying on the excellent resources at the 100-year-old port,
Qingdao International Cruise Terminal Area will gather four
industries, including cruise tourism, financial trade, intelligent
innovation and business culture. It will develop into a cluster of
open, modern, vigorous and fashionable elements, a new platform for
youths to pursue self-development and career achievements and, as
mentioned above, a main carrier for Qingdao's construction of the International
Shipping Trade and Financial Service Innovation Center, a source of
ideas for global resource matching, and the core zone of the
China (Qingdao) Pilot Zone for Development of Cruise
Tourism.
