Abstract
Cruise tourism is an important part of marine economy. With the rapid eastward-moving of the world cruise center, China has gradually become the center of the attention of the world’s cruise market. The deployment of “the Belt and Road” construction strategy brings a lot of new opportunities for the development of cruise industry. Chinese port cities also seize the opportunity to promote port development and accelerate the integration into the construction of 21st Century Maritime Silk Road. As an intersection of the 21st Century Maritime Silk Road and Yangtze River Economic Zone, Baoshan District has become the most important water gateway in Shanghai and the international passenger transport port as well as the location of the largest cruise home port in Asia. In the context of “the Belt and Road” initiative, this paper analyzes how Shanghai cruise industry connects with international cooperation and relevant policies with Shanghai cruise industry being object of study and port cities and the nation along “the Belt and Road” being spatial nodes, and discusses the future development path of Shanghai cruise tourism, in the hope of achieve the great-leap-forward development of Shanghai cruise economy.
