Brought to you by Cingular Cruise passengers now make up 3.5 percent of all visitors to the islands. Of them, 126,731 came by air to board cruise ships in Hawaii while 42,999 arrived on a cruise ship to tour the islands. So far this year, Hawaii has seen 92 cruise voyages, including 34 conducted on board Norwegian Cruise Line vessels. "Next year we are expecting more cruise visitors when Norwegian's Pride of America and Pride of Aloha homeport in Hawaii," said Marsha Wienert, the state's tourism liaison. Cruise-passenger onshore spending declined to $99 a day from $103.74 in the first nine months of 2002. The 4 percent drop is due primarily to lower spending by U.S. West and Canadian tourists. U.S. West tourists spent $86.63 per person this year compared to $98.68 for the corresponding 2002 period. Canadian visitors spent $96.21 ($102), U.S. East $106.90 ($106.12), and Europeans $96.14 ($96.13). There were 93,831 cruise passengers from the U.S. East Coast, down from 94,533 in 2002. Similarly, U.S. West passenger numbers declined by a few hundred. However, Canadian passenger numbers rose from 9,785 to 10,521, and Europeans grew from 3,056 to 4,216. More than 4,000 Hawaii residents cruised around the islands in the first nine months of this year, nearly 20 percent fewer than last year's figure of 4,996 people. Local cruise passengers spent $49 per person per day while on a cruise, about half of what nonresidents spend. Of the $49, they spent $15 on shore excursions, $11 on shopping and $5 on food and beverage. About those cruise visitors: Daily spending: $99. Stayed 1.71 days before cruise. » Continued Page: 1 | 2 Extra Best small biz markets We rate the largest metros for healthiest climate for entrepreneurs. » Find out more » 10 best metros for Small Business | » Rankings for 50 largest markets | » Startup Successes © 2003 American City Business Journals Inc.
