Abstract
Cruise tourism is rapid developing as focal point of recreational sector. The cruise tourism sector has the opportunity to bring financial advantages to a port city. Jeddah is mostly renowned for its import and export port, Jeddah Islamic Port. It focused on trade in products between nations. However, this port is only focused on cargo trading, thus it has overlooked the potential of cruise tourism. Thus, this work has presented a proposal on developing a cruise terminal Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. For this work, two case studies related to cruise terminal was analysed. Based on the analysed case studies, for the proposed cruise terminal, the estimated total site area for development was 44875 m2, with gross floor area of 38750 m2. The cruise terminal consists of several areas, such as arrival terminal hall, departure terminal hall, administration, hotel, common tourist activities and facilities, amenities and logistics. In this work, 2 sites were proposed for development, and site 1 was chosen as it exhibited highest site evaluation score of 66. Site 1 is located at Obhor, North of Jeddah, within Al Waleed Bin Talal Kingdom City, with site area of 45000 m2. The development of this cruise terminal is expected to improve the economy of Jeddah City and enhance the port of Jeddah as a tourism attraction center.
