  • 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].

  • Lloyd E. Rigler
    Lloyd E. Rigler Send Flowers loyd Eugene Rigler, a California industrialist and investor whose arts philanthropy ranged from L music in Los Angeles to ballet in his native Northern Plains to the New York City Opera to public television, died Dec. 7 at his home in Los Angeles. He was 88. His death was announced by the Rigler-Deutsch Foundation in Hollywood, of which he was president, and the New York City Opera, of which he was vice chairman. Mr. Rigler was the founder of Classic Arts Showcase, an eclectic television service that distributes performing arts lms at no cost to public television stations, and of the American Association for Single People, which ghts for the economic rights of the unmarried. Mr. Rigler, who built a fortune with Adolph ' s Meat Tenderizer as its foundation, started as a salesman during the Depression. His connection with television also started early, with the 1939-40 New York World ' s Fair, at which he demonstrated RCA ' s new television technology to astonished audiences. He and a partner, Lawrence E. Deutsch, who joined him in making Adolph ' s Meat Tenderizer a national brand, began their philanthropy modestly in the early 1950s, when they formed the Lloyd E. Rigler-Lawrence E. Deutsch Foundation. The foundation was an innovative venture that helped make the matching funds concept a powerful fund-raising tool. Their foundation contributed to the creation of the Los Angeles Music Center and the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C. Deutsch died in 1977 and willed his holdings to the foundation.

  • 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.
