Abstract

There are more than 50 federally authorised ports in the USA that feature cruise ship operations, where the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) is responsible for construction, operations, and maintenance. However, federal budgetary funds are allocated mostly based on tonnages and commodities shipped rather than the number of passengers served. We aim to establish an economic impact platform to capture the complexity and uniqueness of a cruise port in the value-added chain. From what comprises a cruise maritime cluster and to what extent core cruise business are integrated, the economic impact of a cruise port is much different from the existing literature considering only passenger consumption. A comprehensive model is proposed that analyses cruise ports, cruise line operations, and the role of related business in the supporting industries. Through the use of the proposed simulation platform, economic impacts are calculated for one of the busiest cruise ports in the USA, Canaveral Harbor Florida.

美国邮轮港口的经济影响和意义

美国有50多个联邦授权的港口以游轮运营为特色，美国陆军工程兵团（USACE）负责建造、运营和维护。然而，联邦预算资金的分配主要基于吨位和运输的商品，而不是服务的乘客数量。我们的目标是建立一个经济影响平台，以捕捉邮轮港口在增值链中的复杂性和独特性。从邮轮海运集群的组成以及核心邮轮业务的整合程度来看，邮轮港口的经济影响与仅考虑乘客消费的现有文献大不相同。提出了一个综合模型，分析邮轮港口、邮轮运营以及相关业务在支持产业中的作用。通过使用所提出的模拟平台，计算了美国最繁忙的邮轮港口之一佛罗里达州卡纳维拉尔港的经济影响。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
