  • UK Office July 2020 TDC Report Prepared By: Venessa Alexander UK Director
    UK Office July 2020 TDC Report Prepared by: Venessa Alexander UK Director Tour Operators Trailfinders – We spoke with Rachel Webb, Destination Manager for Florida at Trailfinders and were advised that the Trailfinders Product team and other non-customer facing departments continue to work from home. But I'm pleased to say that, in a step towards normality, their travel centres in England, Wales and Ireland have re-opened their doors to their clients again, with all the necessary precautions in place, and their 3 travel centres in Scotland were set to re-open again at the beginning of July. They have now taken the decision to cancel all US departures up to 1 Aug 20 and Rachel suspects more will be cancelled beyond this. The company strategy very much remains to encourage their clients to re-book rather than cancel and as they get more product on sale, they are seeing more success. They continue to be able to book flights out of range. However, there are still gaps in their programme if their contact has been furloughed so they are having trouble securing a contract. Their receptive partners are also facing similar difficulties securing rates and then having the resources available to load. While they’ve seen a lot of interest in Florida as a whole, much of the business is being driven to Orlando where much product is on sale to the end of 2021 or, in some cases, into 2022. Currently, there's not the same amount of product on sale as usual in St Pete/Clearwater so the numbers booking are much smaller.

  • The Significance of Europe in the World Cruise Industry
    Doris Peručić, M.A. Zagreb THE SIGNIFICANCE OF EUROPE IN THE WORLD CRUISE INDUSTRY UDK/UDC: 796.5(656.66) JEL klasifikacija/JEL classification: L83 Pregledni rad/ Review Primljeno/Received: 05. listopada 2005./ October 05, 2005 Prihvaćeno za tisak/Accepted for publishing: 22. studenog 2005./ November 22, 2005 Summary The cruise industry is the tourism sector that has experienced the most rapid growth of all. The industry’s growth can be attributed to its offering the best value for money. The impacts of the tragedy on September 11th, 2001 were felt immediately, but the cruise industry recovered very fast and continued its growth. Domination of the cruise industry is held by North Americans due to the strong emphasis of product on the American market. The European market is still in its entry phase, and is still less developed as compared to the North American market. It has enormous potential for development as a cruise destination and a source market. Europe as a region allows consumers to experience a broad range of destinations during a single voyage in a relatively short period of time. Today, about three million Europeans sail on ocean cruises, and it is expected that the European market will be 10 million passengers by 2020. Remarkable growth in the Mediterranean occurred due to the revival of demand for European cruises in North America, and the growing demand of European cruise markets. The biggest number of operators comes from the United States. However, European–based lines are growing strong in Europe, which target the European market or only one European market.
