The 22nd International Exhibition and Conference serving the Cruise Industry was characterised by a very good 2005 and extremely optimistic forecasts. World’s cruise lines are committed to new investments of well over $ 14 billion over the next four years, including 26 ships and more than 70.000 berths. This positive trend was reflected in the size of the show with nearly 950 exhibitors from well over 100 countries and a reasonable number of new participants - seven exhibitors from Austria included – covering all sectors of activity, including ship equipment, destinations, ships services, food and beverage , design/refurbishing, and entertainment.
Whether it is networking, sourcing or catching up on the latest news and trends in the cruise industry, people flock to Miami to be part of the cruise industry’s largest annual gathering.
The highlight of the show no doubt was the state of the industry debate which is of tremendous value for getting a better understanding of where the industry is heading. As the pace of new building activity picks up there is no shortage of work either for the yards, designers, architects and suppliers in fleet refurbishment and modernization.
The Austrian suppliers’ community which - apart from food and beverage - is totalling an impressive 50 companies, was listed and published by AMEM on the occasion of this year’s convention for the first time.
