Scotland’s Cruise Conference 2024
- This event has passed.
‘Scotland’s Cruise Conference 2024 – What Works For Tourism’ will consider the issues and opportunities raised for the Scottish tourism industry and local tourism businesses as cruise tourism continues to grow in the region.
2024 has been another year of growth for cruise ship calls around Scotland’s ports, with the season extending well into November. Looking forward, 2025 promises new cruise line calls at Scottish ports, while at an industry level there is growth in both the size of vessels, and in the capacity of the luxury and expedition market. Cruise lines are looking for excursions which are ‘ungoogleable’ in Scotland.
Conference Programme:
Our programme will include input from cruise lines, international cruise networks, and international industry experts. The programme for this year’s conference will cover developing trends in the cruise market, with a focus at the growth of luxury expedition ships; the proposed levy on cruise passengers; the impact and response of rural communities to tourism; how countries on the Baltic are working together to attract cruise; and a look at available data. It is also hoped to find space for some ‘speed dating’. As always, the sessions will be interactive. At these events delegates are always participants.
