Стаття присвячена дослідженню світового круїзного туризму як феномену туристичної індустрії ХХІ століття через призму його відповідності принципам сталого розвитку. Обговорюються існуючі міжнародні проєкти та ініціативи, спрямовані на мінімізацію екологічного впливу круїзної індустрії, їхня ефективність та перспективи. Фокус уваги спрямований також на роль круїзного туризму в збалансованому підході до розвитку туристичної дестинації, включаючи вирішення економічних та соціальних аспектів поступу регіонів.
Problem Statement and Purpose. The article is dedicated to studying global cruise tourism through the lens of its compliance with sustainable development principles. It discusses existing international projects and initiatives aimed at minimizing the environmental impact of the cruise industry, their effectiveness, and future prospects. The objectives of our scientific research include studying successful practices of environmental management as an integral component of sustainable corporate development in maritime cruise tourism. Additionally, we deem it appropriate to focus on analyzing cruise tourism as a model of a balanced approach to destination development, emphasizing not only the resolution of environmental issues but also addressing the economic and social aspects of development in regions that position themselves as cruise tourism destinations. Data & Methods. To achieve the research objective, general scientific and specialized methods of geographic science were utilized. The research roadmap was based on statistical data from the UNWTO and reports from the Cruise Lines International Association. Their comprehensive analysis enabled the systematization and identification of current trends in the development of maritime cruise tourism, the outlining of destructive processes in its progress, and the identification of successful practices for implementing sustainable development principles in the operations of international cruise companies. Results. The environmental management of cruise companies should comply with the principles and standards of the international ISO 14001:2015 standard, which establishes three main commitments regarding environmental policy: environmental protection, fulfillment of all obligations, and continuous improvement of the environmental management system. As of 2024, there are 32 pilot projects and joint initiatives being implemented with eco-friendly fuel producers and engine manufacturing companies, testing sustainable fuel and advanced technologies. By 2027, 16% of all cruise ships worldwide will operate on liquefied natural gas, 81% of ships will be equipped with wastewater treatment systems, and 81% of ships will have exhaust gas cleaning systems installed. This will achieve a 98% reduction in sulfur oxide levels, a 50% reduction in particulate matter, and a 12% reduction in nitrogen oxides. All ships currently in production, except for expedition vessels, will be equipped with the capability to connect to shore power systems (OPS). Forty percent of the cruise fleet belonging to CLIA members are already ready for connection, and an additional 30% will be retrofitted. By 2028, 15% of cruise liners will be built using batteries and/or hybrid fuel cells. Starting from 2023, all ships under production are equipped with innovative Advanced Wastewater Treatment Systems (AWTS) that are comparable to onshore counterparts in every way. Over the next five years, it is anticipated that the CLIA member fleet will undergo significant transformation due to innovative approaches in environmental conservation, which will reduce costs associated with ecosystem restoration and foster further development of global cruise tourism.
