As someone else said, there are already huge tourist busses coming to Orient, to the Palm Beach area, and used to be Waikiki and/or Kakao. I really don't see this changing much as far as cruise ship traffic to Orient. Virtually all of the places that are being displaced do not really have sufficient seats to handle a huge crowd anyway, certainly not in the restaurants. I am with Durathror, I think the complaints of the end of the earth are a little over-reacting. I think the end result will be a better experience for visitors.

On the other hand, I do feel very genuinely sorry for the business owners who will be without income for several months. That will be extremely hard on them.
