PETALING JAYA: Star Cruises will waive all wharfage and passenger charges for ships that call at the Star Cruises Jetty in Langkawi as part of its commitment to assist in expediting the recovery of tourism to the island.
The decision to waive the charges is in response to the urgent need to revive tourism to the island from a cruise economy standpoint following a slowdown caused by the recent tsunami disaster, which was perceived to have affected the island substantially, the company said in a statement.
