Cruise industry is mainly characterized by its exceptional value proposition, low market penetration levels, wide appeal, high guest satisfaction rates and favorable supply-demand imbalance. In the past years, all the volume indicators of the cruise industry, including the cruise capacity, passengers carried, number of ships or cruises, and Available Lower Berths managed to witness a positive growth, despite the global economic crisis. Cruise industry revenue, on its part had shown a decline in the recessionary conditions due to declined onboard spending by the cruise vacationers. The cruise industry has also been a huge contributor to the economic benefits to the associated regions. In order to attract the vacationers for cruising, the cruise lines are increasing the onboard facilities, some of them include full-scale seagoing aquaparks, luxury spas with exclusive spa suites, increasing choice and flexibility in dining, and facilities, including pools and recreation areas dedicated to adults, teens or children, Wi-Fi capabilities to help passengers stay connected while on cruise. North America is the largest cruise market worldwide and alone holds more than half of the cruise market. As the North American cruise industry tends towards maturity, the second largest cruise market Europe is likely to offer potential for growth. The low penetration of the cruise industry worldwide offers immense opportunity for growth in future. With the rising consumer income and increasing employment, the cruise industry is expected to grow in the coming years. Also the cruise industry would grow further as the immense potential in the emerging markets, including Asia Pacific and Australia gets exploited.

Vacation Ownership (Timeshare) Industry Report: 2010 Edition Price: $800.00 (€608.69) ($960.00 (€730.42) Including VAT at 20%) Publication Date: 01-Jul-2010 Format: PDF Pages: 35 Publisher: Koncept Analytics The hospitality industry is a major component of the travel industry, which has been affected by the performance of the global economy. Vacation ownership is a segment of the hospitality industry. Weak economic condition, instability in the financial markets, and low consumer confidence kept demand for timeshare intervals soft in 2009. Demand for fractional and residential units was particularly weak. As a result of global economic downturn, the United States vacation ownership industry, which represents the largest market, has seen a significant decline during 2009. Inspite of weakening of leisure activities during the period, the timeshare owner’s confidence remains quite positive with higher average occupancy rates in the U.S. timeshare resorts than in hotels. Hence, the average sales price per interval has increased significantly in the U.S. vacation ownership industry during 2009. The vacation ownership concept originated in Europe during the late 1960s and spread to the United States thereafter. After U.S, Europe has a significant share in vacation ownership industry with U.K and Ireland being the largest market followed by Germany and Italy. However, other regions like Asia Pacific hold strong potential for market leaders to expand as the growing middle class income and changing timeshare owner’s profile make it apt for vacation ownership industry. The report offers an analysis of the global vacation ownership market. It discusses major market trends, growth drivers and challenges. It presents the competitive structure of the industry and profiles major players in the vacation ownership market with a discussion of their key business strategies. By combining SPSS Inc.’s data integration and analysis capabilities with our relevant findings, we have predicted the future growth of the industry.

The cruise market is characterized by exceptional value proposition, wide appeal, positive guest demographics, high guest satisfaction rate and favorable supply vs. demand balance. The industry has seen a significant growth over time and it is expected to grow further in the coming years. Though, in 2009, the growth in industry has declined, but it is expected to pick up again as the global economy recovers gradually from the downturn. Seeing the growth potential in cruise market, the number of players has increased and the existing players will be increasing their capacities in the coming years. North America is the primary market for cruise activities. Though the region represents the most mature market of cruise activities, with majority of passengers originating from US, it is still underdeveloped with huge potential. Hence, industry players are working to increase their ship capacities and lower berth capacities to meet the growing demand of the industry. Europe is the second largest market after North America, representing the fastest growing market. The European cruise industry continues to increase its share of the global cruise market, with UK being the largest shareholder in the European market. The global cruise industry is now looking towards Asia as a major growth engine. The Asian cruise market is growing at a good growth rate.

Medical Tourism Market Report: 2009 Edition Price: $800.00 (€608.69) ($960.00 (€730.42) Including VAT at 20%) Publication Date: 01-Jul-2009 Format: PDF Email Pages: 47 Publisher: Koncept Analytics Medical tourism is a high-growth industry being driven by globalization and rising healthcare costs in developed countries. More than thirty countries in Asia, Africa and Eastern Europe are serving millions of medical tourists annually. Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia, India and Philippines are the major destinations in the Asian medical tourism market. Thailand is more popular among Western European medical tourists for cosmetic surgery. Singapore and India specialize in complex procedures with India having a cost advantage and Singapore a technology advantage. Global economic downturn has resulted in decline in visitor numbers in Singapore and the same holds true for medical tourists also. The decline is most among Indonesian patients, but is being compensated by patients from other places such as Vietnam and the Middle East. The private healthcare market in Singapore could witness a period of slower growth due to declining medical tourists. The healthcare industry in Thailand has seen rapid growth in recent years, ahead of the country's GDP. In Thailand, medical costs are lower than in Singapore and also, it is a much more popular tourist destination. The cost of healthcare in Thailand is about five times lesser than it is in the US. The Malaysian government is aggressively promoting medical tourism. It has extended the visa period for health tourists from one month to six months. Major hospitals in Malaysia are targeting new markets such as Vietnam and Cambodia. India is one of the lowest cost and highest quality of all medical tourism destinations. It offers low-cost cardiovascular and orthopaedic procedures, at about one-tenth the cost of similar surgeries in the US. Taiwan provides high-quality healthcare at very competitive prices but is a slow starter. A liver transplant costs half as much in Taiwan as in Singapore. China is a key target market for Taiwanese hospitals. The Korean government is promoting the nation's growing medical tourism industry and has set a target of 100,000 foreign patients by 2012. However, Korea is considered to be a latecomer in medical tourism industry. This report gives an overview of the medical tourism industry with focus on Asia. It discusses the major medical tourist destinations like Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia, India, Philippines, Taiwan and South Korea and their respective competitive advantages. The major healthcare organizations in Asia are also profiled in the later part of the report. Table of Contents/List of Tables/List of Figures
