Cruises are experiencing strong growth and reaching new target groups: The return rate has more than doubled to 17, and interest among non-cruisers remains high at 22. At the same time, criticism persists – three out of five people associate this form of travel with environmental problems.
In this episode, learn why cruises are becoming increasingly attractive, how travel behavior is changing – and why the industry needs to reposition itself between growth, sustainability and a new travel culture.
