  • 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.

  • ARGENTINA April 2011
    ARGENTINA April 2011 This Market Insight is one of an ongoing series of market profiles produced by the Market Intelligence Group [MIG] of the European Travel Commission [ETC]. New market profiles will be added to the series and updated at regular intervals. The members of the MIG comprise the Research Directors of the 35 National Tourist Offices (NTOs) that are members of ETC. The group regularly commissions and publishes market intelligence studies, handbooks on methodologies and best practice, and facilitates the exchange of European tourism statistics on the ‘TourMIS’ web platform. More information on ETC’s programme of market intelligence activities - including links to studies and sources of European tourism statistics - can be found on the organisation’s corporate website: http://www.etc-corporate.org . OVERVIEW • In 2009 the number of outbound tourists from Argentina was 4.9 million. However, the majority of them travelled to neighbouring countries, mostly Brazil and Chile. This fact is reflected by the statistics showing the most common choice for transportation: in 2009 38% of outbound tourists chose air travel and 46% opted for travelling on land. • Total spending by Argentines travelling abroad by air amounted to US$ 2.39 billion in 2009 with an average US $ 89.5 daily expenditure. • Provisional figures for 2010 suggest an increase of 16% in the number of outbound tourist trips by air, as well as a 15% rise in expenditure. • Argentina went through a prolonged economic crisis in 2001-2002, but after 2003, as a result of its political stabilization, the country has been on the track of continuous economic growth, with the exception of a short downturn in 2009.
