Cruise Tourism Business Grant Scheme Form

This grant scheme aims to encourage and grow businesses that engage with cruise visitors in the Falkland Islands.  Cruise tourism is a vital industry within the Falklands economy, and providing visitors with a diverse and attractive range of activities is important for its growth.

As the largest volume of passengers visit Stanley, this scheme is mainly focussed on the development of shore excursions and businesses that serve cruise visitors in Stanley.  However, applicants from camp can also apply, although the number of cruise visitors to the location where the applicant operates will be taken into consideration when evaluating proposals.
