Mexico Daily News was featuring the construction of a "new " pier in Zihua and the prospects for a resumption of the cruise ship trade in Zihua. What is the reality that cruise ships will be interested in coming to Zihua?

Lots of the passenger liners that travel our coast will add our port to their itinerary again once we have a pier that meets the minimum safety requirements. That's the only reason they stopped coming altogether. Numbers decreased several years ago due to bad publicity that is no longer the same issue along with a repositioning of ships to match the increased demand in certain markets. There are only so many ships, and even though they keep poisoning the oceans and occasionally their own passengers, it looks like millennials love them according to industry market researchers.

We used to go to Cozumel but it changed for the worse so much after the cruise ship terminals were put in that it no longer appeals to us. I fear that Zihuatanejo will suffer the same outcome.

I wouldn't call Zihua's new one a "cruise ship terminal". They'll still need to use tenders, which I'm guessing the cruise ship lines probably find expensive, time-consuming and a bit of a pain. The good news about the new pier is that it hopefully will kill any more talk of constructing a real cruise ship pier/terminal out in the middle of the bay.....at least for a few more years.
