Adam Sharp Adam Sharp Cruises news e Oct./Octubre 2015 47th MEDCRUISE GENERAL ASSEMBLY cused not only in Mediterranean Ports but also in external factors that influence its development. China is the hot topic, because almost all cruise lines have announced the deployment of ships in that region. Royal Caribbean’s Dustin Nason, director worldwide port operations, said that Asia and Caribbean are the biggest external competitors. ‘In China yields are high and with the middle class population reaching 350 million in 2016, these factors will influence deployment decisions,’ he said. But Nason also noted that if yields improve in the Caribbean then Mediterranean could have more seasonal ships in the summer, because it’s easy to reposition ships between the Caribbean and the Med than it is to redeploy ships from Asia back to Europe. Mediterranean is the second most popular cruising area in the world, with an 18,6% share of the market compared to the Caribbean’s 37,6%, and it scoring 8 out of 10 in the Royal Caribbean brands. MedCruise president Carla Salvado said there was cause 7 Cruises news e Oct./Octubre 2015 47th MEDCRUISE GENERAL ASSEMBLY for optimism in Mediterranean cruising. “Despite some decline in traffic the last year, we have experienced long-term growth in the Med and we need to sustain it,” she said. Salvado told the assembly that MedCruise was working with CLIA Europe to reverse low levels of penetration in key source markets. CLIA Europe secretary general Raphael von Heereman said travel agents had an important role to play in this process, because until now, 70% of cruise passengers in Europe have booked through travel agents, and he believe this won’t change soon. “Better trained travel agents lead to more informed consumers and thus more bookings and more cruises taken.” he said. CLIA Europe and MedCruise are in the process of launching a joint venture by setting up an online training tool to educate and certify travel agents.

He said promotion was another big issue ports should address. “How can you as ports help the cruise industry grow in terms of bringing more people? You need to start collaborating and clustering, working with itinerary planners.” And he asked ports, ‘How much money do you spend on telling the consumer how good cruising is?’ Turning to port infrastructure, Michel Nestour, Carnival Corp & plc vp global port and destination development Euromed, showed delegates images from the newly opened Amber Cove in the Dominican Republic, a port that was built from scratch inside five years. ‘Ships have evolved over the past 35 years, so ports also need to evolve,’ he said but lamented that this type of infrastructure is happening in the Caribbean and in Asia but not in Europe yet.
