Cruising contributes $12bn to Europe plc

23 Oct 2006, Pier Luigi Foschi, chairman of the European Cruise Council, expects the European cruise market to grow by nearly 50% to 4.5m by 2010.

Foschi, who is chairman and CEO of Carnival Corp’s European brand Costa Cruises, was speaking at the Seatrade exhibition.
The European cruise market in 2005 leapt 13% to over 3.2m. It is responsible for 120,000 jobs in Europe, pumping $12 billion into the economy.
Foschi said: ‘The UK is still leading the way with over one million cruisers in 2005 but Germany, Italy and Spain are not far behind and all of them have shown a significant increase in passengers compared to 2004. Further strong growth is expected for Europe in 2006 and we are watching closely.'
He added that the Med is an increasingly popular destination for Europeans. Trends show that holidaymakers are seeking easy to reach areas that are off the beaten track including destinations such as the Black Sea and the Atlantic Islands. 1.9m Europeans - 60% of the total 3.2m total - visited the Med in 2005.
