Beyond the Horizon: A Panel Discussion on the Current Educational Challenges Facing the Future Growth of Cruising. Conference Report
Ganna Demydyuk et al.
Abstract
The controversial nature of cruise tourism, due to its potential negative impacts, prompted the discussion panel comprising of experts in education, marine affairs, and destination management to talk about the future of cruising and implications for specialized education. This report is based on a panel discussion that took place on 4th of October 2023, during the 39th annual EuroCHRIE[1] conference in Vienna[2]. The panel consisting of four esteemed panelists, representing educators in hospitality, tourism, and cruise, as well as the cruise industry, was invited and moderated by Moderator, who also coordinated the preparation of this report. Through discussions from a wide array of perspectives, the panel aimed to identify and better understand the role of educators and the cruise employers. While a 90-minute session cannot cover all emerging topics around cruising, this report, therefore, is intended to initiate a conversation and debate on the future of cruise education.
