US Opening to Vaccinated Foreign Nationals Seen as Boost for Cruising

The US announcement that it would be reopening to fully vaccinated foreign nationals in NOV is seen as a good sign for cruising in the country. “Our members look forward to welcoming international travelers, including from the United Kingdom and the European Union, back to the United States while continuing to prioritize public health,” the Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA) said. According to CLIA, the cruise industry is an important driver of international visitors in the US, with 2.5 million visitors coming to the US to cruise in 2019, or 18 per cent of all US cruise embarkations. The association also said that international cruise visitors in the US spend USD $4.5b annually on hotel stays, transportation, retail and other US businesses for a USD $.97b total economic impact.
