  • Third-Country Tourists on the Ferries Linking Germany with Lithuania
    Third-Country Tourists on the Ferries Linking Germany with Lithuania Eleri Jones, Ramunas Povilanskas, Ausrine Armaitiene’ Gediminas Valtas & Egidijus Jurkus Recreation and Tourism Department, Klaipeda University, Lithuania, and Cardiff School of Management, Cardiff Metropolitan University, UK Abstract This paper examines third-country passengers’ travel itineraries on the DFDS Seaways ferry route linking Kiel, Germany with Klaipeda, Lithuania using a mixed-methods approach comprising qualitative and quantitative methods, including geographical information system spatial-cluster analysis. Survey results reveal the predominant third- country passenger groups (i.e. passengers from countries other than Germany and Lithuania) on ferries sailing from Kiel to Klaipeda and back were Latvian (28%), Dutch (20%), British (14%) and Danish (12%) nationals; 86% of Latvian passengers used the ferry to travel between home in Latvia and work in Western Europe. Western European passengers comprised a diverse segment of motorized tourists using the ferry in summer to reach the Baltic States faster than by land. The paper highlights the role of the Kiel– Klaipeda ferry route within the Baltic Sea motorized tourism circuit linking the Baltic and Nordic countries with Western Europe. Key Words: Baltic Sea, ferry lines, motorized tourism circuit, third-country tourists, tourismscape, triangulation Introduction Ferry tourism (Duval, 2007; Gibbons, 1996) is a relatively obscure phenomenon with limited literature available in comparison with other industry sectors, such as leisure, tourism and transportation (e.g. motorized and cruise tourism, shipping). While analysing power relationships between hosts and guests aboard an English Channel ferry, Gibbons (1996, p. 7) noted that ferry tourism: “despite its prominent place within the tourism industry, has been much neglected in the literature ..

  • Note De Synthèse N°115
    Note de Synthèse n°115 Mai 2009 Le Détroit du Pas-de-Calais Plus court passage avec l'Angleterre, le détroit du Pas de Calais constitue le plus important lien maritime de transbordement d’Europe avec 14 M de passagers et 2,5 M d'unités roulantes en 2008. Pourtant depuis quinze ans, la concurrence du tunnel sous la Manche représente une alternative conséquente, mais au final limitée en parts de marché à un tiers des flux. Si la concurrence modale a été intégrée dans le fonctionnement du marché du détroit, les différents changements de l’économie britannique affectent fortement les flux de passagers et de fret. Les compagnies doivent donc s’adapter à un flux massif et structuré, mais dont les à-coups provoquent régulièrement des ajustements de marché.
