Global cruise firm to handle APEC accommodation bookings

Global cruise line company, The Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company, or more commonly known as, P&O, will be handling accommodation bookings for the 2018 APEC Leader Summit.

Minister for Sports, National Events, and APEC, Justin Tkatchenko, tells Loop PNG that P&O will handle all the bookings for all APEC economies.

“All the countries that are coming for APEC they will be advised through proper correspondence that they go through P&O to book their accommodation.

Three cruise liners have already been secured and will be providing temporary accommodation during the summit.

Each cruise liner has more than 2,000 rooms and will be parked at the bay at Ela Beach next to where the APEC House will be built.

Tkatchenko says this arrangement has been approved by the National Executive Council.
