DRIVING FORCE BEHIND CRUISE SHIPPING IN HAMBURG
Serving as a communication platform, the association promotes dialogue within the industry and publicly represents its interests at the same time. The network management initiates and co-ordinates joint activities where it is advisable and necessary to do so. These activities include promotional appearances at trade shows, events, and in the media. An essential aspect of the association’s work is to grow the network by attracting new members. The association is open to all companies, service providers, organisations and private operators who work for the industry.
