Within the last few years, the use of cruises as venues for business meetings has been growing, and the lines are designing ships to accommodate this new trend. Conference rooms, audio/visual equipment, computer centres, copy and fax machines, microphones, flip charts and easels are some of the business amenities now found in the newer vessels. Some lines go so far as to provide meeting coordinators, secretaries and language translators. The proximity of the port to the airport with its adequate facilities, broad geographic distribution of flights and easily accessible ground transportation is the determining factor for the success of these air-sea packages. The cruise industry recognizes the travel agent as their primary source of business growth. Consequently, it is very supportive of the travel agency community and the two enjoy a very close working relationship. The attractions and amenities available at destinations along the cruise itinerary are indeed important considerations. Blue water, white sandy beaches and sun continue to be a draw, but are no longer sufficient. Theme parks, casinos and entertainment centres in the United States, as well as low airfares to Europe are emerging as competition to the popular island destinations in the region. In response, many of these are launching advertising campaigns to remain attractive tourist locations. The book is designed to help the students and professionals to quickly acquire the knowledge and skills they need for this subject. CONTENTS: Planning a Journey; Management of Tourist VISA; The Tour Guides; Sightseeing as in Itinerary; Pleasures of Pre and Post Travel.
