SIMONE T. MARASCHI
Chairman Cruise Europe
As Chairman of Cruise Europe I welcome you to our region. The development of sustainable cruise tourism for visiting guests and control of its development is a primary objective for our members in the Cruise Europe Region. Capacity through port infrastructure and facilities is a challenge for every region due to the evolution of ship designs with bigger ships placing increasing demands on ports and destinations. Our members are at the forefront in addressing this issue. We share the same sustainability objectives of the cruise lines which is the key to our future development and success, which is not solely based on the economic aspect at the expense of the people in the destination. The Cruise Europe region is cognisant of its environmental stewardship which it shares with the visiting cruise lines and their guests. Communication of that stewardship is a vital component for our industry. That objective needs to be constantly to the fore and Cruise Europe can play a vital role in this communication through cooperation and collaboration with all stakeholders on behalf of its members.
