Abstract
In recent years cruising has become one of the fastest growing segments of the tourism industry. Globally, the Pacific Islands account for a small fraction of the cruise industry (around two per cent in 2015), but expected growth in the coming years is high. Given their geographic proximity, Australia and New Zealand are the most important source markets for the region. The focus of this study is on the cruise tourism sector in Papua New Guinea (PNG) and Solomon Islands (SI). The study contributes to a wide body of evidence on the tourism sector in the Pacific Islands and builds on the strategies and initiative proposed to support growth.
