  • 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].

  • 21: Prestazioni Eccellenti Di Zaza, Mandragora E Sanabria
    I Top E I Flop Di Torino-Sassuolo 3-2 Recupero Ventiquattresima Giornata Serie A 2020-'21: Prestazioni eccellenti di Zaza, Mandragora e Sanabria. Bene anche Sirigu, altra prova deludente di Izzo 17/03/2021 Il Torino conquista tre punti di platino risalendo dallo 0-2 nell'ultimo quarto d'ora. Prestazioni eccellenti di Zaza, Mandragora e Sanabria. Bene anche Sirigu, altra prova deludente di Izzo. --->I TOP SIMONE ZAZA 8: gli basta un quarto d'ora per riscattare tante prestazioni negative. Entrato al 72' al posto di Rincon, dopo cinque minuti realizza la marcatura che riapre l'incontro, per poi ripetersi al 92', "comparendo" dinanzi a Consigli per insaccare di testa la rete del trionfo. Ora bisogna continuare così. ROLANDO MANDRAGORA 7: altra prova convincente del numero 38 granata. Dopo due tentativi respinti da Consigli, trova il goal del pareggio all'86' facendosi trovare pronto a depositare in rete una respinta del portiere nero-verde su una conclusione di Gojak deviata da Obiang. Gara tutta grinta. ANTONIO SANABRIA 6,5: continua il momento magico dell'attaccante paraguaiano. Stavolta, diversamente dalle precedenti due uscite, non va a segno, pur sfiorando la rete al 17', quando una sua inzuccata trova l'opposizione dell'attento Consigli. Si "consola" fornendo (sempre di testa) l'assist per la prima rete di Zaza. SALVATORE SIRIGU 6,5: ha qualche responsabilità sulla seconda rete di Berardi, ma si riscatta alzando (con una mano!) oltre la traversa un secco destro di Obiang, esattamente un minuto dopo il 2-2. Una parata del miglior "Salvatore di nome e di fatto", che evita la beffa: poco dopo, Zaza sigla il definitivo 3-2.

Incredible India! has ostensibly stepped out of the “imaginary waiting room of G overning the Hills RUNE BOLDING BENNIKE history” and joined the ranks of modern, developed and branded nations. And Naya Nepal is moving towards a “federal, democratic, and republican” future. Concomitantly, a range of claims to local autonomy brings together local move- ments and global processes in novel ways. In fact, local place-making itself has been globalised. This dissertation asks what happens when the increasingly globalised production of places collides with a resilient national order of things in the Himalayan hills. It investigates movements for the establishment of a Limbuwan and Gorkhaland state on either side of the border between eastern Nepal and north-eastern India. Through the engagement with this area, the dissertation argues that we need to rethink the spatiality of government in order to understand the contemporary conditions for government as well as local autonomy. Across imperial landscapes, national territories and global place-making, the dis- sertation documents novel collisions between refashioned imperial differences and resilient national monopolies on political authority.
