However, the cruise industry has undergone fundamental changes which implies that the number of frequent cruisers is growing, with western travelers supposedly travelling to diverse cultures, attractive cruising destinations and exotic experiences in Southeast Asia for western travelers, and thus cruising in the Asian region has been happening at an enormous growing rate. Among the Asian regions, China is experiencing the fastest growth rates. Both Hong Kong and Shanghai established two cruise terminals which can be described as homeport cities in the 21st centuries. However, Hong Kong and Shanghai cruise terminals need to deal with neighboring competitors like Singapore, Japan, Vietnam, just to name but a few, in a challenging and dynamic environment. In order to examine Hong Kong and Shanghai’s potential evolution into an international cruise terminal hub, we suggest Connectivity, Regional Competitiveness, Utilization, Infrastructure, Security, Environmental Management (CRUISE) framework to seize attainable prospect of the external environment and investigate locational characteristics of cruise terminals in Hong Kong and Shanghai respectively. The first mover and sustainable competitive advantage will be performed. Academic and managerial implications of the research findings for cruise terminals are elaborated. Keywords: cruise terminal; Hong Kong; Shanghai; location characteristics; CRUISE framework 1. Introduction Broadly speaking, cruise is described as any fare paying voyage for leisure and pleasure on-board a passenger vessel whose primary objective is the accommodation of guests, normally visiting different destinations with flexible routes. In other words, cruises are proposed as “the transportation of pleasure-seeking travelers on ocean voyages offering one or more glamorous ports of calls” [1]. Cruise is also defined as “any fare paying voyage for leisure on-board a vessel whose primary purpose is the accommodation of guests and not freight normally to visit a variety of destinations rather than to operate on a set route” [2]. The major elements of a cruise product component consist of transportation, accommodation, dining, ship-board entertainment, recreational activities, domestic and foreign ports of calls, and shore excursions [3]. In the 1920s, cruising was the preferred mode of travel for the world’s social elite. Post Second World War (1945) cruising declined as a result of losing trade to passenger aircraft [4]. According to the Organization for Economic Cooperation Development (OECD) countries of Maritime Transport (1970), Sustainability 2019, 11, 5056; doi:10.3390/su11185056 www.mdpi.com/journal/sustainability Sustainability 2019, 11, x FOR PEER REVIEW 2 of 14 Sustainability(1970), there2019 was, 11 ,a 5056 decrease in sea travel (1957–1970), which further reduced the need for passenger2 of 14 ships [5].

In terms of infrastructure, the global homeport system is mainly distributed in the Caribbean, Mediterranean, and Alaskan regions [10,11]. In Asia, Shanghai Wusongkou is the largest home port, followed by Singapore and Hong Kong (China) [13], see Table1 for scheduled calls by port. In China, both Shanghai and Hong Kong are now positioned in the Asia Pacific Cruise Center as well as operating two cruise terminals in one city. For a cruise city, the prerequisite of a sustainable cruise business is being included in attractive cruise itineraries. The location of the cruise terminal is one of the most important factors affecting cruise liners to select both departure ports and ports of call. To this end, identifying port location characteristics is one of the fundamental managerial requirements to develop a sustainable cruise tourism business.

Abstract This report examines the potential effects of short sea shipping (SSS) development on the Texas transportation system. The project region includes Texas, Mexico, and Central America. In the international arena, the most likely prospects are for containerized shipments using small container ships. In the domestic arena, the most likely prospects are for coastwise shipments using modified offshore service vessels or articulated tug/barges. Only three Texas ports handle containers consistently (Houston accounts for 95% of the total), and three more handle containers sporadically.

Our report, prepared for Designing Hong Kong Ltd., examines this imbalance from the marine perspective. We audited the 50km of waterfront twice and conducted interviews with major stakeholders to assess necessary improvements to land/water interfaces and to provide recommendations on improvements to the land/water interfaces with the goal of making Victoria Harbour a truly “living” harbour. ii Acknowledgements Our team would like to thank the many people that helped us over the course of this project. First, we would like to thank our sponsor, Paul Zimmerman, for his help and dedication throughout our project and for providing all of the resources and contacts that we required.
