“…The application of the model seeks to determine the type of relationships that predominate among the largest 'major' ports. Particularising the dynamic model proposed in equation (9) with the six ports that comprise the analysis yields the following results.…”

“…Research studies associated with the maritime component of the cruise industry have increased, focusing mainly on cruise ports. Some of these studies include the following themes: relevant factors in the site selection of cruise terminals [9], the cruise industry's selection criteria for being a homeport [10,1], the incentive mechanism in concession agreements for cruise terminal activities [27] and determinants of cruise traffic that is registered by a port [3,6]. This paper focuses on the maritime component of the cruise industry, specifically on cruise ports.…”

The Mediterranean Sea has seen an increase of ports hosting cruise ships during the first fifteen years of the 21st century. The increase in cruise ship presence in Mediterranean ports is associated with the dynamism of cruise traffic in recent years, with an average annual growth of 7.45% for cruise passengers worldwide during the period of 1990-2015. Cruise traffic is a maritime business that is primarily composed of two elements, maritime affairs and tourism. This article focuses on the maritime component. With the growth of the cruise industry, cruise lines have been forced to seek new ports to meet demand in an attempt to create differentiated products based on the ports that compose the itinerary. The itinerary system of cruise traffic makes the cruise ports depend on one another to design an itinerary. This feature results in both complex geographic relationships in the design of a cruise itinerary and complex competitive/cooperative relationships between ports. The aim of this article is to present the hierarchic picture of a sample of 29 cruise ports in the Western Mediterranean region during the period of 2000-2015. To achieve this goal, a port size classification is proposed and a shift-share analysis at the inter- and intra-group size level is applied. Moreover, concentration measures are used to determine the changes in the levels of market concentration. Furthermore, a dynamic model is proposed to determine the competitive or cooperative relationships between cruise ports. The proposed model is applied to the largest ports with data from the 2001-2015 period.

“…Another strategy is to open a new airport, which could entirely replace the old one, whose space, often closer to the city center, is reassigned to new non-air uses, in a strategy of brownelds reclamation, as in Hong Kong (Kai Tak replaced by Chek Lap Kok, with the old site earmarked for a new residential district, a park and a cruise terminal) (Loo and Chow, 2011;Lau et al, 2014;McNeill, 2014) or Denver (closure of Stapleton Airport, now an eco-district following the concepts of New Urbanism and Smart Growth, replaced by Denver International) (Szyliowicz and Goetz, 1995;Goetz and Szyliowicz, 1997). Of course, there is some contradiction between developing a new airport out-oftown, which induces more sprawl and refocusing urban development to central areas to reduce sprawl (Godschalk, 2004;Goetz, 2013).…”

Airports, as nodes in world transport networks, have been studied mostly in their role as hubs in the spatial strategies of airlines. This paper examines the role of airports as engines of growth in their local surroundings and the complexity of the spatial system of the airport at the local and regional scale. It studies how to ensure an efcient movement of planes of the airside and an efcient access point to airports on the landside while taking into account the interests of people living next to airports, who are heavily impacted the noise generated by aircraft, as well as considering where should new airports be built.

“…The statistics seems to indicate that Asian cruise tourists are still very much dominated by Chinese tourist while other part of Asian market are still relatively small especially from Malaysia. Several academics have called the marketing strategies for cruise liners into question by suggesting that they may be too "European-focused" (Qu & Ping, 1999;Wang et al, 2014;Sun et al, 2014;Lau et al, 2014) and even going so far as to label them "disconnected" (Soon & Lam, 2013;Chong, 2014).…”

“…In spite of this, there are very limited studies concerning the relationship between tourist perceived value and behavioural intention on cruising. The body of knowledge shows that despite of the increasing research topic on cruising, most of the researches conducted were based on European countries (Diedrich, 2010;Brida et al, 2012;Pranić et al, 2013;David, 2014;Brida et al, 2014;Blas & Carvajal-Trujillo, 2014;Carić & Mackelworth, 2014) whereas there is relatively limited research for Asia (Qu & Ping, 1999;Wang et al, 2014;Sun et al, 2014;Lau et al, 2014) especially Malaysia (Soon & Lam, 2013;Chong, 2014). Even though that studies were conducted on examining the relationship between perceived value and behavioural intention (Yi et al, 2014;Chen & Chen, 2010;Petrick, 2004;Pandža Bajs, 2015;Williams & Soutar, 2009), however, most of these studies were focused on repurchase intention as well as recommendation intention.…”

Price or pride? Malaysian marine cruising behaviour

Despite substantial investments and promotional efforts in developing cruise tourism in Asia, cruise liner managers and marketers are given little indication concerning the effectiveness of their current marketing programs in driving consumer intentional behaviour. This study of a cruise liners' marketing program validates the position of emotional value, social value and perceived novelty on the consumers' intention to cruise. While marketing programs for cruise vacation in their current form do offer some brand building benefits, their effect on cruising intention is significantly stronger for younger customers who are inclined to brand as a selfreflection. In contrast, the price has no direct effect on intention to cruise. Therefore, this cruise marketing program does provide some value, but conceivably not in the way the cruise liner company wishes. The cruise industry should anticipate their customers' perpetual characteristics (i.e., their interpretation of luxury vacation and perceived importance of social status reflection through choice of vacation) and review these marketing approaches to ensure that they able to reach out to their customers better rather than just attracting price sensitive customers.
