The westcoast ports of Seattle, Washington and Vancouver, British
Columbia are currently attempting to out-compete the other for
"homeporting" of the lucrative foreign-flagged cruise ship
market(Vancouver is currently the homeport for many vessels but is at
risk to losing much of its homeport business to Seattle, thus both
ports are queued up as opposing suitors).

I am seeking detailed, attributable information indicating what each
port (& port city) is offering individual cruise lines as
port(airport) fiscal or (de-)regulatory incentives to secure vessel
visitations and ensure competitive market advantage for future cruise
seasons.

Thanks in advance.
