  • A Qualitative Review of Cruise Service Quality: Case Studies from Asia
    sustainability Article A Qualitative Review of Cruise Service Quality: Case Studies from Asia Yeohyun Yoon 1 and Kyoung Cheon Cha 2,* 1 School of Hotel and Tourism Management, Youngsan University, Busan 48015, Korea; [email protected] 2 Department of Business Administration, Dong-A University, Busan 49236, Korea * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 2 September 2020; Accepted: 29 September 2020; Published: 30 September 2020 Abstract: Although the cruise sector is considered an ‘unreplaceable’ form of tourism, with the cruise industry recording steady growth over the years, there is a lack of research and analysis on cruise ships themselves. Accordingly, this study sought to determine whether service quality differences among ships operating in the Asian market could suggest broader implications for the sustainability of the cruise industry. We chose the SERVQUAL framework for the analysis; we also employed the multiple case study method and topic synthesis to compare the service quality of three ships. Of the ships investigated—the Costa Victoria, Diamond Princess, and Superstar Virgo—the Diamond Princess had the highest service quality. Based on the results, we outlined suggestions for improving the quality of cruise services, including introducing the latest large ships and high-tech facilities, complying with the departure and arrival times of sailing schedules, improving the ratio of crew members per passenger, establishing a cruise personnel training system, and expanding membership program operations. Keywords: cruise; service quality; SERVQUAL; onboard attributes 1. Introduction Cruise tourism is one of the fastest growing tourism segments, and it has undergone significant transformation, especially in the last few decades [1,2].

  • Section 2: the China Model: Return of the Middle Kingdom
    SECTION 2: THE CHINA MODEL: RETURN OF THE MIDDLE KINGDOM Key Findings • The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) seeks to revise the inter- national order to be more amenable to its own interests and authoritarian governance system. It desires for other countries not only to acquiesce to its prerogatives but also to acknowledge what it perceives as China’s rightful place at the top of a new hierarchical world order. • The CCP’s ambitions for global preeminence have been con- sistent throughout its existence: every CCP leader since Mao Zedong has proclaimed the Party would ultimately prove the superiority of its Marxist-Leninist system over the rest of the world. Under General Secretary of the CCP Xi Jinping, the Chi- nese government has become more aggressive in pursuing its interests and promoting its model internationally. • The CCP aims to establish an international system in which Beijing can freely influence the behavior and access the mar- kets of other countries while constraining the ability of others to influence its behavior or access markets it controls. The “com- munity of common human destiny,” the CCP’s proposed alter- native global governance system, is explicitly based on histor- ical Chinese traditions and presumes Beijing and the illiberal norms and institutions it favors should be the primary forces guiding globalization. • The CCP has attempted to use the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic to promote itself as a responsible and benevolent global leader and to prove that its model of governance is su- perior to liberal democracy. Thus far, it appears Beijing has not changed many minds, if any.

  • 20200430 the Tragedy of Missed Opportunities
    The Tragedy of Missed Opportunities THE TRAGEDY OF MISSED OPPORTUNITIES COVID-19 Human Costs and Economic Damage Contents|1 The Tragedy of Missed Opportunities This report is authored by Dan Steinbock, Ph.D. is the founder of Difference Group Ltd (www.differencegroup.net). He has served at the India, China and America Institute (USA), Shanghai Institutes for International Studies (China) and the EU Center (Singapore). Prologue I have analyzed the COVID-19 prospects ever since the ‘mystery pneumonia with an unknown etiology’ was discovered in Wuhan, Hubei, at the end of December 2019. The first maJor international pandemic since the Spanish flu is likely to cause millions of infections and hundreds of thousands of deaths, and a global contraction that will prove far more consequential than the 2008/9 global recession. Despite China’s relatively successful battle to contain the outbreak, and the World Health Organization’s (WHO) international alerts and repeated warnings, the mobilization against the outbreak in Europe and the United States began weeks too late as several critical opportunities were missed. That’s why I wrote the report at hand. It is important to understand the underlying forces behind maJor policy mistakes to avoid new mistakes and overcome future challenges. It is heavily documented to show how critical pathways were missed. “For too long, the world has operated on a cycle of panic and neglect,” WHO director-general Dr Tedros said over a year ago, months before the novel coronavirus outbreak. “We throw money at an outbreak, and when it’s over, we forget about it and do nothing to prevent the next one” And he warned: “This is frankly difficult to understand, and dangerously short-sighted.” COVID-19 is not the first pandemic; nor will it be the last one.

Modern warfare is not just muscular warriors or laser-blended weapons, but the level of intelligence and morality. The war is now a strategy to utilize space (media) and time (moments or events), in winning the hearts of the public. The Covid-19 outbreak, is a serious threat to Indonesia in terms of defense and security. The government must be able to prepare as well as possible to anticipate the various possibilities and potential national threats. The military is the best organization in every country, because the military will always be ready to face all threats that can interfere with the sovereignty of the country, so it is interesting for the writer to make a description of the role of the TNI in dealing with Covid-19 with the Barry Buzan threat assessment framework. The study was conducted with a descriptive approach to phenomenological qualitative trying to understand the meaning of various events and human interactions in a particular situation. Hope the author, with this paper can provide benefits for the benefit of the nation and state.

    1 THIS IS A DAILY COMPILATION OF MEDIA ARTICLES CONCERNING THE COVID-19 IMPACT ON THE INTERNATIONAL CRUISE INDUSTRY. Please note this isn’t a complete listing of media articles but a snapshot only. 21 March, 2020: SCOTS HOLIDAYMAKERS TRAPPED ON CRUISE SHIP TELL OF CORONAVIRUS HORROR AS BOAT SETS SAIL FOR ITALY A Scots couple trapped on board a cruise ship have told of their horror after discovering the boat is now set to dock in coronavirus stricken Italy. Virginia and Bill Maclean, from Inverness, are passengers on the Costa Pacifica and fear they are being sent into the “eye of the storm” after the latest on board announcement. All passengers apart from French nationals have been stopped from leaving the ship, which docked in Marseille, France, on Friday morning. The decision reportedly nearly sparked a riot on board, with the couple's fellow passenger Ted Hills, from Lockerbie, revealing fights had broken out between a few people.

The state Department of Transportation Harbors Division said six Hawaii residents and an injured passenger and her spouse were allowed to leave the cruise ship Maasdam docked at Pier 2 on Friday after some uncertainty whether they would be permitted to get off — and have to sail elsewhere.
