The Link Up Podcast | The CPR Cayman Episode
In this critical episode, Chris sits down with Michelle Lockwood from the Cayman Port Referendum (CPR) group to examine the future of cruise tourism in Grand Cayman. With passenger numbers declining industry-wide, we ask: Is cruise tourism dying? Can the proposed port actually revive visitor numbers? And what could George Town look like without cruise ships? Michelle breaks down the startling findings from renowned economist Marla Dukharan’s report, revealing the potential economic impacts and alternative visions for Cayman’s tourism future. We also discuss:

- The real data behind cruise tourism’s decline
- Whether the $200M port project justifies its cost
- How stay-over tourism could reshape George Town
- What the Cayman Islands stands to lose or gain
