  • Cruising with Holland America Line Tourism, Corporate Identity and Corporate History
    1 Cruising with Holland America Line Tourism, corporate identity and corporate history Ferry de Goey Faculty of History and Arts Erasmus University Rotterdam The Netherlands [email protected] Paper for the EBHA Conference 2005 in Frankfurt am Main, Germany (September 1 - 3, 2005) Session 2 C: Images of Transport Do not quote without permission. © Ferry de Goey (2005) 2 “The reason for our success is that we meet and exceed the expectations of our guests every day; we create dr eams for them every day. There is no better value.” (Micky Arison, Chairman and CEO Carnival Corporation, 2004) If you remember Captain Stubing, cruise director Julie McCoy, bartender Isaac Washington, and yeoman-purser “Gopher” Smith of the 1970s television series The Love Boat, you probably have the right age to take a cruise.1 You shall not be alone; in 2005, about 11.1 million people will join you on a cruise. Economic research documents the tremendous growth of tourism in general and particularly the cruise industry after the 1960s. Worldwide employment in tourism in 2001 was 207 million jobs or 8 percent of all jobs. About 11 percent (or 3.3 trillion US Dollars) of global GDP is contributed by the tourist industry and some 698 million tourists generated this economic result. While tourism used to be located in Europe and the USA (in 1950 the top 15 tourist attractions were all located in Europe and the USA), today tourism is a global industry with multinational enterprises.2 Tourism is an exceptionally dynamic industry with businesses constantly inventing new attractions.

  • Cruise Ship Owners/Operators and Passenger Ship Financing & Management Companies
    More than a Directory! Cruise Ship Owners/Operators and Passenger Ship Financing & Management Companies 1st Edition, April 2013 © 2013 by J. R. Kuehmayer www.amem.at Cruise Ship Owners / Operators Preface The AMEM Publication “Cruise Ship Owners/Operators and Passenger Ship Financing & Management Compa- nies” in fact is more than a directory! Company co-ordinates It is not only the most comprehensively and accurately structured listing of cruise ship owners and operators in the industry, despite the fact that the majority of cruise lines is more and more keeping both the company’s coordinates and the managerial staff secret. The entire industry is obtrusively focused on selling their services weeks and months ahead of the specific cruise date, collecting the money at a premature stage and staying almost unattainable for their clients pre and after cruise requests. They simply ignore the fact that there are suppliers and partners around who wish to keep in touch personally at least with the cruise line’s technical and procurement departments! The rest of the networking-information is camouflaged by the yellow-pages industry, which is facing a real prospect of extinction. The economic downturn is sending the already ailing business into a tailspin. The yellow-pages publishers basically give back in one downturn what took seven years to grow! Cruise Ship Financing It is more than a directory as it unveils the shift in the ship financing sector and uncovers how fast the traditional financiers to the cruise shipping industry fade away and perverted forms of financing are gaining ground. Admittedly there are some traditional banks around, which can maintain their market position through a blend of sober judgements, judicious risk management and solid relationships.
