Cruise Tourism and Society
The growth and increased popularity of cruises is accompanied by a number of sustainability issues concerning the environment, the port economies and societies; on board and at shore. The sustainability imperative ultimately leads to operational, economical as well as image-related challenges for the sector's decision-makers and stakeholders. This collection of peer-reviewed papers, presented during the 3rd International Cruise Conference (Dubrovnik, Croatia), seeks to address those issues and contribute to their management in the mid-term.

Cruise Business Development
This book addresses innovation management and product development in the cruise tourism industry. It explains how experience management has evolved from a strictly company-level, product- or service-focused tactical task to an industry-wide strategic challenge, and analyses the role of intangible reputational aspects of cruise experiences, as well as peripheral components and stakeholders, as increasingly important factors for customer acquisition and retention. Safety and risk issues are a central theme, as well as the cruise sector’s environmental and socio-economic impacts. Lastly, the book considers the increasing size of cruise vessels and the accompanying standardisation of facilities and itineraries, in conjunction with the hybridisation of cruise passengers in connection with expanding the competitive boundaries and intensity of competition in the cruise sector. The book approaches these issues as more than a mere public relations campaign, recognising the fact that they have since become the very essence of strategic cruise business development.
Cruise Sector Challenges
This textbook presents a compendium of important issues that were discussed at the 2nd International Cruise Conference in Plymouth (UK) between the 18th and 20th February 2010. The focus of the conference was to consider emerging issues, problems and solutions for the cruise industry at a time when trading conditions were perceived to be highly volatile.
Visions for Global Tourism Industry
We have been witnessing huge competition among the organisations in the business world. Companies, NGO's and governments are looking for innovative ways to compete in the global tourism market. In the classical literature of business the main purpose is to make a profit. However, if purpose only focus on the profit it will not to be easy for them to achieve. Nowadays, it is more important for organisations to discover how to create a strong strategy in order to be more competitive in the marketplace. Increasingly, organisations have been using innovative approaches to strengthen their position. Innovative working enables organisations to make their position much more competitive and being much more value-orientated in the global tourism industry. In this book, we are pleased to present many papers from all over the world that discuss the impact of tourism business strategies from innovative perspectives. This book also will help practitioners and academician to extend their vision in the light of scientific approaches.
Cruise Sector Growth
Despite representing a fairly small fraction of global tourism activity, the cruise sector has been experiencing a steady growth rate over the last years. The 1st International Cruise Conference (ICC) and its proceedings documented here face the changes which accompany this process of growth. The corresponding refereed papers are organized under the following themes: New trends and innovations, human resource management, information technology and standardization. The underlying motivation behind this collection of works is to bridge the gap between cruise theory and practice, by providing a ‘living research agenda’ aligned with the cruise sector’s realities and needs.

Kreuzfahrthäfen im Wettbewerb
Die Kreuzfahrtbranche boomt: Die Häfen verzeichnen seit Jahren eine stetige Zunahme an Anläufen und Passagieren. Kreuzfahrten sind nicht mehr nur Nebengeschäft, sondern haben mittlerweile für zahlreiche Häfen eine hohe wirtschaftliche Bedeutung erlangt. Es wird massiv für mehr Anläufe geworben und hohe Investitionen, beispielsweise in den Bau neuer Terminals, werden getätigt. Insbesondere in Regionen wie der Ostsee, wo auf engem Raum zahlreiche attraktive Destinationen liegen, ist ein regelrechter Wettbewerb um die Gunst der Reedereien entstanden. Am Beispiel der vier größten deutschen Häfen Kiel, Warnemünde, Hamburg und Bremerhaven gehen die Autoren folgenden Fragen auf den Grund: Worauf legen Kreuzfahrtreedereien bei der Auswahl der anzulaufenden Häfen besonderen Wert? Welche Kriterien und Faktoren sind für die Reedereien bei der Wahl der Ein-/Ausschiffungs- und Anlaufhäfen besonders wichtig und warum? Was muss ein Hafen bieten, um dauerhaft erfolgreich im Markt agieren zu können und um wettbewerbsfähig zu bleiben? Wie entwickeln sich Häfen als touristische Destinationen? Und welche Rolle spielt die Nachhaltigkeit?
