Abstract

This paper proposes to establish a more robust and flexible framework to formulate the cruise tourism prosperity index (CTPI), which can predict the supply and demand of the cruise industry. However, the use of indicators and cycle selection solves this challenge by incorporating indicators into predictive models. In this paper, CTPI in China from 2010 to 2018 is constructed and evaluated by principal component analysis. Then future development is predicted. Finally, the prediction results show consistency between projected results and actual developments.
