The operator of Hong Kong’s Kai Tak Cruise Terminal has rejected suggestions to revitalise the site as a shopping centre, after lawmakers and industry players proposed revamping the underused facility to attract more tourism.

Worldwide Cruise Terminals managing director Jeff Bent on Thursday evening stressed that the site’s main purposes were as a home port for ships and a temporary stop before passengers boarded or disembarked.
