  • Assessment of the Economic Impact of Cruise Ships to Vanuatu Report
    Assessment of the Economic Impact of Cruise Ships to Vanuatu Report AUGUST 2014 This study into the economic impact of cruise ships to Vanuatu was commissioned by the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, Carnival Australia and IFC, a member of the World Bank Group. It was conducted by consultancy firm Net Balance Management Group Pty Ltd using methodology similar to that of studies undertaken in Australia and the Caribbean on a regular basis. Data for the study was provided by Carnival Australia and Royal Caribbean Cruises International. About the Australian Aid Program On 18 June 2014, Australia’s Minister for Foreign Affairs launched a new development policy, Australian aid: promoting prosperity, reducing poverty, enhancing stability. Australia’s aid program has a stronger focus on private sector development, including aid for trade, recognising that the private sector is the primary driver of economic growth and poverty reduction. Australia is investing in education, health, humanitarian assistance, and empowering women and girls, reflecting the links between human development and economic growth. Australia’s aid effort is focused firmly in the Indo-Pacific. About the International Finance Corporation The International Finance Corporation (IFC), a member of the World Bank Group, is the largest global development institution focused exclusively on the private sector. Working with private enterprises in about 100 countries, IFC uses capital, expertise, and influence to help eliminate extreme poverty and boost shared prosperity. In FY14, IFC provided more than $22 billion in financing to improve lives in developing countries and tackle the most urgent challenges of development. For more information, visit www.ifc.org.

  • How to Work in the Cruise Industry
    How to work in the Cruise Industry A GUIDE FOR TOURISM OPERATORS 2019-2020 Introduction To work successfully in the cruise industry, operators should undertake research to understand the cruise ship company’s target audience. Each cruise ship caters for a different target market; thus you need to understand these potential customers and their respective expectations. If your goal is to have your product offered as a Shore Excursion (Shore-Ex) it is important to be aware of the rules of engagement between your business and the cruise ship companies. For example: holding the appropriate licences and insurance; providing appropriate nett rates and terms and conditions; tailoring/adapting your product as required; and delivering on your service. Cruise Distribution Photo: Dale Baldwin Today’s Traveller Growth continues on the high-end luxury market with unprecedented demand and interest in expedition travel, while the middle market tends to decrease. Travellers’ needs have changed significantly over the past decade. These days, they are confidently independent; time, comfort, attentiveness, peace and space are the new luxury goods; travellers want a hassle-free holiday. They are looking for something more than a pre-packaged offering; they want a more personalised experience and there’s a continued desire for more shore excursions. Cruise ships used to be a destination in themselves but these days, decisions are being driven more by the port destinations than the on-board facilities. Hobart is competing hard against other destinations.
