WTTC Urges Governments to Support Sustainable Cruise Shipping for Net-Zero Emissions

London, United Kingdom, July 14, 2023 / TRAVELINDEX / WTTC welcomes the UN IMO’s ambitious plan to achieve net-zero emissions from international shipping by 2050, a crucial milestone for the cruise industry and our planet.

We urge governments to actively support sustainable marine fuels, shoreside power, and other net-zero technologies in all shipping sectors. Collaboration between governments and the industry is vital to achieve net-zero emissions.

Sustainable growth in Travel & Tourism, including aviation, rail, and cruise liners, remains a key objective for the sector worldwide.
