Wang Xingbin, senior researcher at the Chinese Culture and Tourism 188bet app Industry Research Institute of Beijing International Studies University, pointed out，Although the current domestic epidemic prevention and control situation continues to improve，But cruise travel basically involves outbound travel，And usually routes to Japan and Southeast Asia，In the short term, recovery is unlikely，It still takes some time to restart。

Important issues before restart

Cruise giants are gearing up for their “comeback”，The biggest problem before them，How to eliminate tourists’ panic。In the recent "Cruise Health and Safety" online forum jointly hosted by the China Cruise Industry Association (CCYIA) and Royal Caribbean International Cruise Lines，Liu Zinan, Chairman of Royal Caribbean Cruises Asia, said，Recently，The epidemic spread on many cruise ships，It does make many tourists worry about epidemic prevention issues on cruise ships。

It is reported，February this year，More than 700 cases occurred on Princess Cruises’ Diamond Princess，The ship was once isolated at sea，Become the center of world public opinion。After the Diamond Princess cruise ship，The "Grand Princess" cruise ship operating in the United States was also exposed to a "small-scale" new crown pneumonia epidemic，Tourists on the ship were also tested for the virus by local medical institutions。Frequent epidemics have made many tourists fearful of cruise ships，Even worried about whether the virus will spread through the ventilation system。

Zheng Weihang, executive vice president and secretary-general of the Cruise Ship and Yacht Branch of China Communications and Transportation Association (CCYIA), said in an interview with a reporter from Beijing Business Daily，The epidemic has not only caused huge losses to cruise companies，It also gave consumers a certain degree of panic about cruise travel。

Beijing 188bet Online Sports Betting and Casino Business Daily reporter learned，Recently，Genting Cruise Lines announced the detailed rules for cruise prevention and control of the new crown epidemic，Including the implementation of the highest standards of health and epidemic prevention measures，And continue to carry out in-depth disinfection and cleaning work on board。The cruise company is trying to eliminate people’s fear of cruise travel through this method。

Liu Zinan also said，Current governments、Ports and cruise lines should agree on plans for a major public health crisis，And pass legislation to ensure the implementation of the plan。simultaneously，Cruise company’s epidemic prevention mechanism needs to be further strengthened，Mainly do a good job in strict control of the source，Proactive monitoring of the health of guests and crew on board and implementation of appropriate isolation measures。

However，In the opinion of Zhou Mingqi, founder of Jingjian Think Tank，The current international and domestic cruise market，There is still a long way to go before recovery，It may be an exception for cruise companies to announce the resumption of sailings，This is the practice of some companies to tentatively release some regression signals，But overall，The current domestic and foreign epidemic prevention and control standards cannot be relaxed，More importantly，Tourists generally still have a sense of distrust towards cruise travel，If there is a rush to restart and new cruise ship cases occur，It is likely that the entire industry will be hit even harder。Judging from the current situation，The resumption of international cruises requires more caution。
