“…Baggio, Scott and Cooper (2010) present a review and critique on network science in the context of tourism. In their assessment of the theoretical state of the art, Papathanassis and Beckmann (2011) apply observations from tourism studies to the domain of cruise research, noting similar pre-paradigmatic and multidisciplinary features of fragmentation, managerialism, and lack of unifying theoretical perspectives in its knowledge creation.…”

“…It has become a sign of the globalization of the tourism industry in terms of its market coverage, its activities and ownership (Wood, 2000;Kester, 2002;Weaver, 2005;Chin, 2008;Papathanasis and Beckmann, 2011).The term Cruise Tourism is used to describe the selection of a ship, according to a predefined programme by an individual tourist, who agrees to his integration into a common environment with a group of people participating in the common programme of maritime touring (Diakomihalis, 2006).

The worldwide cruise industry has expanded over the past decades.For many countries, it has become a significant source of income. Cruising is considered as a holiday that gives a "flavour" of each country, albeit a brief one, so if interested, the country or region could be visited another time for longer period.Cruising companies have succeed in attracting more customer segments by offering a wide range of durations, itineraries, and prices. Prices vary according to the time of year, itinerary and level of luxury. The 1990s witnessed the beginnings of cruising to Oman's three main ports: Salalah Port in Dhofar governorate, Sultan Qaboos Port in the capital, Muscat, and Khasab Port in Musandam Peninsula.This study aims to explore the Omani cruising market in relation to worldwide cruise industry dynamics. To achieve the aim of the study two objectives were identified:To portray the worldwide cruise line industry, To assess the status of cruise tourism in Oman. Disputes about the economic benefits of cruising have been raised; Who is getting the benefit? Is it the destination ports or the locals? Cruise tourists spend less money and time in Oman than other tourists, but the assumption that a short, professionally handled experience in Oman would bring them back for longer visits cannot be underestimated. As a cruising destination, Oman has great potential for growth and development in the future.

“…The goal of this paper is to look at the specific nature of the relationship between the cruise ship company and its suppliers. It also answers numerous calls for more research on the cruise industry (Gibson, 2008;Marti, 2004;Papathanassis & Beckmann, 2011;Sun., Jiao, & Tian, 2011;Teye & Leclerc, 1998;Toh, Rivers, & Ling, 2005) as well as the call for more research into tourism supply chain management (Zhang, Song, & Huang, 2009).The main research questions addressed are as follows: What is the nature of the relationship between the supplier/service provider within a cruise ship company and its environmental factors? Does the relationship dynamic differ across supply categories?…”
