Discussion-Why Cruise ?
COMPETITORS
OH, THE NEW PLACES WE WILL GO
CONCLUSION Present- day cruise ships are organized much like
‘floating hotels’.There is an endless chain of entertainment
activities on these ships, the range including dance classes, classical music , casino lessons and so on.
Though cruises have all the features to fulfil someones need but cruising is still a niche product for a particular market like India where people are not very well aware from this segment.
The marketing of cruise tourism has to be undertaken as a multi-pronged effort.
