Objectives
The cruise industry generates significant economic value for the global economy. However, in the early stage of the COVID-19 pandemic, there were large-scale clusters of cases among passengers and crews on cruise ships, resulting in a tremendous impact on the cruise tourism industry, especially in the Asia-Pacific region where the cruise output value was ever-growing.
In the post-COVID-19 era, resumption of healthy and safe cross-border cruise travel aimed to revive economic activity in each economy in this region is of great concern. Chinese Taipei proposes a project to provide APEC economies with a platform to share and exchange experience in epidemic prevention practices on cruise ships and to host a conference in August 2023. Conference activities include (1) interactive sessions on strategies to manage infectious diseases and use digital tools to support epidemic prevention on cruise ships and (2) a site visit to the Cruise Port of Keelung.
