The newly-built Tianjin International Cruise Home Port is located at the southern end of Dongjiang Port Area of Tianjin Port, adjacent to Dongjiang Bonded Port Area, one of the largest bonded port areas in China at present. The home port of Tianjin international cruise ship officially opened on June 26th, 20 10. With the maiden voyage of the Italian Costa Romance and the Royal Caribbean Myth in Tianjin, it is estimated that more than 40 sub-international cruise ships will come to Hong Kong this year to receive 80,000 inbound and outbound passengers. Many international luxury cruise ships have brought huge business opportunities to Tianjin International Cruise Port, and the cruise economy in Binhai New Area is about to set sail. Shanghai Port now has two cruise terminals, namely Wusongkou International Cruise Port in Baoshan District and Shanghai Port International Passenger Transport Center in Hongkou District. Wusongkou International Cruise Home Port is an important urban basic function of Shanghai, which makes up for the lack of large cruise terminal in Shanghai Port, realizes complementary and dislocation development with Shanghai Port International Passenger Transport Center, forms the largest and most comprehensive international cruise home port in China, and becomes the cruise industry center in China.
Among them, the coastline of the first phase of Shanghai Wusongkou International Cruise Port is 774 meters long, and it has two large cruise berths, which can reliably berth165438+100000 ton cruise ships and1250000 ton cruise ships at the same time. Construction of the cruise port started on February 20th, 2008. On April 27th, the 20 1 16000-ton "Diamond Princess" was successfully docked, and 10 officially opened. In 20 12, 62 large-scale cruise ships docked; in 20 13, 20 128; in 20 14, 2 17; and in 20 15, 284 international cruise ships are planned to dock, making it the largest in the Asia-Pacific region. At present, the port is actively planning the construction of the wharf follow-up project. Upon completion, four large international cruise ships will dock at the same time.
The project of Shanghai Port International Passenger Transport Center includes the reconstruction of the international passenger terminal, with a coastline of 850 meters, forming an open waterfront greening and sightseeing coastline. It is planned to approve the construction of new international passenger transport complex, Shanghai International Port Group office building, hotels, businesses, office buildings and other international passenger transport supporting facilities, with a total construction area of about 350,000 square meters (including the underground second-floor parking lot and vehicle passage covering the whole construction base area). 2065438+On April 22nd, 2005, the Ministry of Transport announced the national coastal cruise port layout plan and the domestic coastal cruise port layout plan:
-Liaoning coastal areas, focusing on the development of Dalian Port, serving the Northeast and opening up routes in Northeast Asia. —— In the coastal areas of Tianjin and Hebei, Tianjin Port will serve North China and other regions, actively expand the originating routes in Northeast Asia and international affiliated routes, improve the comprehensive service level, and attract cruise elements to gather. -Shandong coastal area, with Qingdao Port and Yantai Port as the starting ports, serving Shandong Province and opening up routes in Northeast Asia. —— The Yangtze River Delta takes the above seaport as the originating port, serving the Yangtze River Delta and other regions, vigorously expanding the originating routes in Northeast Asia, the Taiwan Province Strait and other international affiliated routes, opening up global routes, gradually building a sound route network system, improving the cruise service function, and enhancing the comprehensive service level and the concentration of cruise elements. Develop Ningbo-Zhoushan Port accordingly. -On the southeast coast, Xiamen Port will serve the economic zone on the west side of the Straits, speed up the development of Taiwan Province Strait routes, expand the originating routes in Northeast Asia and international affiliated routes, improve the comprehensive service level, and attract cruise elements to gather. -Pearl River Delta, focusing on the development of Shenzhen Port in the near future, serving the Pearl River Delta region and opening up routes such as the South China Sea Islands and Southeast Asia. Develop Guangzhou Port accordingly. -On the southwest coast, Sanya Port will serve the southwest and other regions, expand the originating routes in Southeast Asia and international affiliated routes, speed up the opening of routes to the South China Sea islands, expand the market radiation range and improve the comprehensive service level. Develop Haikou Port and Beihai Port accordingly, and expand the originating routes in Southeast Asia.
In addition to Shanghai Port, Tianjin Port, Xiamen Port and Sanya Port, which have carried out cruise transportation pilot projects, eight other ports of origin are included in the national coastal cruise port layout plan. Dalian is located at the southernmost tip of Liaodong Peninsula in China, northeast of China's coastline, bordering the Yellow Sea in the east and the Bohai Sea in the west. It is the gateway to Beijing and Tianjin, bordering Liaoning Province, Jilin Province, Heilongjiang Province and Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region in the northeast of China in the north, facing Shandong Peninsula across the sea in the south, and adjacent to Japan, South Korea, North Korea and the Russian Far East, with excellent geographical advantages. With Dalian as the center, cruise ships can reach China's Qingdao, Shanghai, Ningbo, Xiamen, Hong Kong and other tourist attractions in a day or two. In particular, cruise ships can give consideration to the advantages of land and sea, provide people with a new way of life with the ocean as the stage, the ship as the carrier and the interactive leisure tourism between land and sea as the connotation, and attract more tourists from Northeast China and other regions to Dalian for leisure.
Secondly, the climate of the port area is one of the conditions for the selection of the home port. Located between 38 and 39 north latitude, Dalian has a continental monsoon climate with maritime characteristics, with no severe cold in winter, no cooling facilities in summer, four distinct seasons, and the port is not silted or frozen all year round. At present, there are many famous cruise home ports in the world, all of which are located in the high latitude cold temperate climate area farther north than Dalian, such as London Port, which is located near 50 north latitude. Amsterdam Port, Netherlands, located near 53 north latitude; Kiel port, Germany, located near 55 north latitude, etc. They are all in the north of Dalian. The successful management experience of these home ports is worth learning from Dalian.
Thirdly, judging from the distance between the home ports of cruise ships, there are both competition and concurrence between ports. In China, Shanghai will take the lead in becoming the home port of cruise ships in terms of economic development, but this does not hinder Dalian's planning expectation. The distance between Shanghai and Dalian is 563 nautical miles. Among the more than 30 cruise home ports in the world, some are far less than this distance, such as 370 nautical miles between San Francisco and Los Angeles, 324 nautical miles between Vancouver and Seattle, 324 nautical miles between new york and Boston, 270 nautical miles between London and Amsterdam, and 270 nautical miles between Copenhagen and Kiel Port. Moreover, within the range of 600 nautical miles in diameter, three cruise home ports, London, Kiel and Amsterdam, are gathered. Therefore, the international cruise home port being built in Shanghai is also an opportunity for Dalian. Because the two ports are close to each other and have their own advantages in basic conditions, tourism resources and fleet resources can be shared.
Dalian is rich in tourism resources, developed in tourism and rich in tourists.
Because it is not the port that attracts tourists, but the tourism products. When choosing a destination port, cruise companies should first consider local tourism products and tourism projects in addition to the port conditions and infrastructure of the city where they are located. During the one or two days when the cruise ship berths, we should not only show the most distinctive side of the city to tourists, but also consider meeting the needs of different tourists. While we provide most tourists with a combination of tourist boutique routes and projects, we should also provide them with some personalized tourism projects and products. Dalian is a famous summer resort and tourist hotspot city in China. It not only has the cultural and historical tourism resources of "half China Modern History Natural Museum", but also has many beautiful natural tourism resources, which can meet the sightseeing needs of different tourists. Dalian has hosted many large-scale activities, such as international fashion festival, commodity import and export fair, fireworks and firecrackers Spring Festival, Sophora japonica appreciation party, international marathon, ice lantern festival and so on. These activities with the characteristics of Dalian city can attract a large number of domestic and foreign tourists to Dalian every year. In addition, Dalian has a developed tourism industry. From 1998 to 2004, the number of overseas tourists in the city increased from 200,000 to 520,000, ranking 15 among cities in China. Especially from 1999 to 200 1, the foreign exchange earned by overseas tourists and tourists increased by 30% every year for three consecutive years, creating a national miracle and being known as "Dalian speed". The average number of domestic tourists has increased by more than 654.38+0 million, and the total tourism revenue has increased from 665.438+00 billion yuan to 654.38+03.5 billion yuan, with an average annual growth of about 654.38+04.8 billion yuan.
With the development of tourism in Dalian, the trend of participating in cruise consumption began to appear. In fact, Dalian Port has become a port of call for international cruise ships with a certain scale in history. Based on this, we can make a forecast on the future tourist sources of Dalian cruise ships.
Dalian has a relatively complete three-dimensional transportation network, with convenient land, sea and air transportation.
As the home port of cruise ships, it should have convenient and fast urban traffic, hinterland traffic and domestic and international air and sea routes. A large cruise ship needs dozens or even hundreds of large group buses to reach its destination, and there should be enough parking spaces and passages near the cruise terminal; Bus lines, rail transit stations and taxi waiting areas should be as close as possible to the waiting building, and strive to achieve zero transfer traffic; There should be a road or railway system leading to the famous tourist areas in the mainland; In terms of external transportation, there should be domestic and international air and sea flights to major tourist destinations and tourist sources. Cruise ships supplement city easy's land, sea and air transportation systems and hubs, providing a favorable distribution environment for cruise tourists.
Dalian is the hub of goods circulation between the hinterland of northeast China and the rest of the world, forming a comprehensive three-dimensional transportation network with coexistence of land, sea and air transportation. Dalian Airport has obvious advantages in international air transport. By 2004, the international passenger throughput has jumped to the fifth place in China, only next to the four major airports of Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou.
Dalian actively promotes the construction of a regional hub airport, and strives to build a comprehensive hub airport that is internationally renowned and leading in China, based on the international advanced airport supporting facilities, focusing on increasing passenger and freight volume, and supported by a network of international and domestic routes extending in all directions. Dalian's land transportation is developed and the railway construction is "speeding up", which makes Dalian's port and hinterland more closely linked; Highway construction has completed a number of major projects such as the reconstruction of Shenyang-Dalian Expressway, and high-grade highways have been launched to the three northern cities along the strategic direction of Dalian; Through scientific planning, construction and transformation of urban traffic, as well as scientific management, Dalian has continuously won the honor of a city with smooth traffic throughout the country. In addition, the positioning of Dalian Northeast Asia International Shipping Center has laid an important material foundation for establishing the home port of cruise ships. China Academy of Social Sciences recently issued the Green Book of Tourism: Analysis and Forecast of China Tourism Development in 20 10, pointing out that the tourism development in China is entering a new era. Domestic tourism has become the strongest subject of steady growth in the three major markets of inbound tourism, outbound tourism and domestic tourism.
In order to meet the development needs of the new economic situation, Qingdao Port is also actively carrying out port transformation and upgrading, and increasing the investment and layout of emerging industries on the basis of the original traditional industries. Qingdao International Cruise Home Port is located in the old city of Qingdao, covering an area of 35 hectares, with a total construction area of about 500,000 square meters and an investment of about 5 billion yuan. There are three special berths for cruise ships in the starting area of Qingdao International Cruise Port, including the original two berths at Pier 6, with a total length of1000 m.. Among them, a new berth will be built with an investment of 800 million yuan. The wharf is about 490 meters long and the draft is-13.5 meters. The oasis of the seas, the world's largest 225,000-ton cruise ship, can dock freely all day.
At present, Qingdao Port operates five international cruise routes to South Korea and Japan every week. Since the beginning of this year, foreign cruise ships such as "Diamond Princess" and "Europa" have frequently come to Hong Kong, which proves that Qingdao Port has the conditions and ability to dock large cruise ships. Beihai is making every effort to build a regional international cruise home port for ASEAN countries, including dock construction, onshore joint inspection facilities and reception service facilities. The total investment is expected to exceed 2 billion yuan.
Beihai 2 billion yuan to build Beibu Gulf International Cruise Home Port. Beihai is making every effort to build a regional international cruise home port for ASEAN countries, including terminal construction, joint inspection facilities on land and reception service facilities, with a total investment of more than 2 billion yuan. Beihai is making every effort to build a regional international cruise home port for ASEAN countries, including dock construction, onshore joint inspection facilities and reception service facilities. The total investment is expected to exceed 2 billion yuan.
