Key Players

► The Dubai Cruise Terminal at Port Rashid was opened in 2001 and is the only cruise terminal managed and operated by the Department of Tourism in Dubai – The private players involved in the development of the Terminal can be brought in to develop a terminal in Gujarat to synergize with cruises starting with Dubai as the Homeport or port of call

► Singapore Cruise Centre was built and developed by the Port of Singapore Authority at a cost of $ 50 Million in 1992 – The developers of the Singapore Cruise Centre can be a key player in the development of cruise terminals in Gujarat to synergize with Cruise circuits starting in Singapore and Asia

Possible Collaboration Opportunities

Car Rentals ► For pick up and drop off services – between ports and tourist attractions in respective cities

► In case the passengers want to disembark and stay overnight in Hotels a place of their choice

Domestic Airlines and ► For foreign tourists – to be able to access the ports of call after Western Railways landing in the international airport at Ahmedabad

Key Considerations

► Accessibility: Time and ease from the port to other destinations should be considered keeping in mind the cruise trip time and the time of holidays for domestic and international tourists ► Connectivity packages – drop and pick up from international airports ► Port policies and easy clearances (immigration and customs) ► Branding and marketing with attractive offers for travellers ► Innovation and theme based cruise like adventure, sports, movies et al. can be a part of the advertisement to attract tourists ► Cruise safety and regulatory guidelines : All cruise ships must be designed and operated in compliance with strict requirements of international law and follow an extraordinary number of established rules and regulations to protect everyone on board. Every aspect of the cruise experience is heavily regulated and monitored under both Merchant Shipping Act, 1958 and the guidelines issued by Gujarat Maritime Board (GMB). ► Presence of Medical Assistance: 24 hours presence of so many passengers away from land requires presence of medical assistance on-board ship. At least 5 beds per 200 passengers should be available round the cloak with 360 degree medical support with at least 2 surgeons or specialist on board
