Topic: Chapter 4- Cruise Geography
In this topic, I discovered that the modern cruise business began in the 1960s
and has become a quiet symbol of the tourist sector's globalization in terms of
market coverage, procedures, and asset mobility. Cruising offers a wide variety
of places from which to pick. We may now travel the world, which opens up new
options such as adventure. The Caribbean, Asia, Australia, South America, and
even the entire planet are all possible cruise destinations.
Cruises to the Bahamas enable you to relax and enjoy the most stunning
white-sand beaches. Caribbean cruises allow you to visit several islands,
experience new cultures, and relax on warm beaches. Bermuda cruises highlight
the pink coral beaches, British culture, and much more. While Mexico Cruises
allow you to learn about Mexico's history and ancient civilization, the geography
of cruise ships indicates that there is a massive global cruise ship fleet due to the
wide range of sizes and locations. The global honey pots for cruise ships, where
the term "Honey Pot" refers to a popular tourist destination that caters to large
numbers of visitors, the tourist and the climate, which states that climate can
impact tourism's ability to cruise due to its climate condition, which is caused by
climate change.

Topic: Chapter 5- Planning and Itinerary
They discussed the Tourist Area Life Cycle (TALC) by Butler (1980. It includes
exploration, involvement, development, consolidation, and stagnation. Aside
from that, there are two alternative evolutionary paths that can emerge as the
next evolutionary stage: rejuvenation and decline. We have also identified in The
Components of the Destination Amalgam by Copper, Fletcher, Gilbert, and
Wanhil (1995) the four "A’s" that represent the components of destination. First,
attraction indicates whether these are man-made or natural features. Second,
Access describes the analysis of transport links, such as roads, rails, and airports,
and the logical integration of these options to serve the visitors. Third, amenities
describe the support facility, and an attraction can be difficult to locate. Lastly,
ancillary services are the agencies or bodies that act to coordinate, develop, and
market the destination. The elements of planning are important because they
play a vital role in cruising. Elements of planning are: regulations, marketing and
demand, and shore excursions.
