Abstract

The aim of this research is to analyze the concentration and deconcentration development of cruise ports in the Mediterranean area by utilizing the concentration ratio (CR), the Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI), the Gini coefficient, and shift share analysis (SSA). The results of analysis indicated a concentration trend in the West Mediterranean. The cruise ports located in Venice, Piraeus, Naples and Livrno in Adriatic and East Med region lost cruise passengers, while the those in West Mediterranean gained the passengers and showed the trend of concentration. This paper providing the shifting passengers among cruise ports that indicates the competitiveness of cruise ports for industrial stake holders to better understand the cruise ports such as tourist boards, ship agents, and port agents.

본 연구는 지중해 크루즈 항만의 집중화 및 분산화를 분석하는 것을 연구의 목적으로 한다. 연구의 방법은 집중도 분석, 허핀달-허쉬만 분석, 지니계수 분석, 전이할당 분석을 사용하였다. 연구의 결과, 서지중해 지역 크루즈 항만의 경우, 관광객을 많이 유치하면서 집중화 경향이 나타나는 것으로 확인되었다. 반면 동지중해 지역 및 아드리아해의 베니스, 피레우스, 나폴리, 리보르노 지역의 경우 크루즈 승객을 타 항만에 잃는 모습을 보이고 있다. 본 연구결과는 크루즈의 경쟁력이라고 할 수 있는 항만간 승객의 전이결과를 제시하였다. 본 연구결과는 크루즈 항만의 이해관계자인 지역관광청, 선사대리점, 항만 대리점 등에 시사점을 제공한다.
