Predicting The Future Is Easy For Royal Caribbean Cruise Agencies

While speaking at a recent travel industry convention about the prospects for continued global expansion of the cruise industry, Adam Goldstein, President of Royal Caribbean International, said "There's a 100% chance that the trend…will continue". To some, his words may sound like "wishful thinking" or just a lot of "hype". However, to many cruise industry professionals on the supply side and on the retail distribution side, Mr. Goldstein's prediction is practically indisputable.

"I've been on the retail side of the cruise industry for nearly fifteen years now and, through good times and bad, it seems to be virtually 'bullet-proof'. When the economy is going strong, business is good for everyone but, even when the economy hits a 'pothole' and most businesses struggle just to survive, it seems that more and more new people are drawn to the exceptional value of cruising." Tom continues, "So, by aggressively marketing to first-time cruisers while cruise ticket prices are especially low, we gain many new clients who might not have been tempted to try cruising before."...
