Zamboanga City (31 January) -- A World-wide Cruise Ship carrying 800 foreign tourists is arriving in the port of Zamboanga City on February 9 that will mark a new beginning for tourism in the city.

The Phil. Ports Authority, City Tourism Office, PNP and Task Force Zamboanga and other concerned agencies will be convened by the Mayor to prepare the city for the arrival of the cruise ship passengers.
