As a multi-billion dollar global industry, the business of cruise tourism in recent years has commanded news media attention especially on issues of environmental pollution, passenger safety and worker rights. Yet, consumer interest in cruise vacations has not been adversely affected by negative publicity and it continues to grow at an average of 8-9 per cent per annum with states competing to attract cruise ship dockings, and seafarers lining up at crewing agencies to apply for cruise ship work. This unique mode of business focusing on the production and consumption of pleasure at sea and on land offers us an unprecedented opportunity to analyze the manner in which on-going economic restructuring processes to bring about free markets in goods, services and labour, can and does involve both life on land and at sea.This interdisciplinary analysis elicits an examination of states' relationship to the maritime regulatory structure governing ship ownership, management and operations; cruise lines' business strategies; development of port communities to capture cruise-related revenue; changing leisure consumption patterns and meanings; and the employment of foreign migrant workers as seafarers. This book is intended for upper-level undergraduates, graduates and academics. The entire book can be used for courses in Global/International Political Economy, International Migration and Tourism studies, and Feminist and Gender studies.
