ISLE: International Sail-Cation Hub for Leisure Experience

A PROPOSED INTERNATIONAL CRUISE HUB

Public transport hubs have been eyed by developers due to its rising trend and growing
industry. Cruise hubs, specifically, developed an interest in hosting cruise activities which aims

perception of a cruise ship as a “floating hotel”, where cruisers enjoy the tranquility and stay in a
safe environment.
In line with the conceptualization of the Proposed Batangas International Cruise Hub in
Batangas City Port, the government is now pursuing the project to make use of the province’s
assets to provide facilities that will accommodate the international cruise industry.
