Webinar: Policy Pathways towards a More Sustainable Cruise Sector

Cruise tourism is a significant component of coastal and marine tourism. Despite the sharp decline during the COVID-19 pandemic, the sector rebounded in 2023 with 31.7 million passengers, surpassing 2019 levels by 7%.

Projections estimate it will reach 40 million passengers annually by 2027. Cruise tourism frequently attracts attention due to its impacts on sea, air, and land, along with the challenges of monitoring sustainability practices both onboard and onshore.

This complexity stems from its cross-border operations, which involve intricate layers of responsibilities and regulations.
