from The Instigator Podcast · host Chris Ostrander
New York State has put the wheels in motion for Buffalo to become a port city for Great Lakes cruises, potentially as early as 2027. Patrick Kaler, CEO of Visit Buffalo Niagara, joined the show to provide some insight into this process. He paints a detailed picture of how Great Lakes cruises operate, how they benefit the cities where they stop and how Buffalo is poised to capitalize on them. We touch on a number of topics related to the news, including what set the Outer Harbor apart as the site for docking, and what Visit Buffalo Niagara is doing in the meantime to help ensure the region is ready to hit the ground running once the facility is ready to host ships.
