• W1448492040 abstract "Introduction Cruise tourism has become a global phenomenon in recent decades. With growing passenger numbers and expansion of cruise itineraries to remote areas of the world, governments seek to use this segment of tourism as a tool for economic development. Such is the case of the Arabian Gulf countries united under the umbrella of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC). GCC national and local governments, especially those of the United Arab Emirates, Oman, Bahrain and recently Qatar, actively seek to attract cruise tourism as part of their economic diversification strategy. This paper traces the emergence of cruise tourism in the Arabian Gulf and examines the position of the region in relation to other cruise destinations. It emphasizes the strategies and factors behind the growth of this sector of tourism in the region in the past decade, providing at the same time recommendations for future sustainable development. Indeed, given the region's characteristics, cruise tourism strategy requires a regional co-operation rather than solely national efforts to promote this type of tourism. analysis is based on literature review. Using a variety of published and unpublished sources including website content, newspapers, journal articles and academic books, and guidebooks, this paper aims at providing an introductory analysis of this newly emerging sector of Arabian Gulf tourism. In this manner, the analysis fills in a gap in literature by providing a much needed update to the only journal publication devoted to cruise tourism in this region The cruise industry in the Arabian Gulf and Indian Ocean by Tony Peisley published in 2000. In addition, the article opens up new areas for further research. growth of cruise tourism: the Arabian Gulf among world trends firm establishment of the cruise industry in the tourism market can be traced back to the late 1960's (Wilkinson, 2006, p. 170). Despite being a recent form of leisure, the cruise industry has recorded a remarkable growth since that time, in terms of passenger numbers, geographic markets expansion and package diversification, making it one of the fastest growing areas of tourism overall (Cartwright & Baird, 1999, p.23). While between 2003 and 2013 the global tourist arrivals (mostly land-based) rose by 57% to 1.087 billion, Business Research & Economic Advisors (2014) estimate that the number of cruise passengers alone increased by 77% to 21.3 million. As a result, in the 1990s this form of tourism has become a global phenomenon encompassing markets and passengers from all over the world (Wood, 2000, p. 348). Although, North America has remained the most active cruise-sourcing destination, followed by Europe, other world destinations have recorded a spectacular growth in the last decade as shown in the table below. industry has experienced a rapid transformation from a product exclusive to the wealthy to a mass market one. Its growth has been prompted by, among others, the expanding accessibility of cruise holidays to middle class and budget travellers; lowering of the average age of the cruise passengers (Dowling, 2006, p.5), and the emergence of new cruise destinations around the world. success of the industry resides in the metamorphosis of cruise liners and the evolution of the packages offered. On the one hand, cruise packages have become shorter, and hence more affordable to an average consumer. Indeed, Brida and Zapata (2010, p.216) pointed out that the length of many successful packages is approximately a week or less. On the other hand, the cruise ships have become floating resorts (Charlier & McCalla, 2006, p.18) and by themselves constitute tourist attractions offering more and more luxurious accommodation, more and more varied entertainment, sports facilities, shopping centers and so on. In the process of becoming parallels of lavish hotels ashore, cruise ships have been increasing its size and capacity in order to accommodate such facilities (WTO, 2003, pp. …" @default.
