With the rapid development of cruise industry in China, China’s cruise industry has stepped from the first decade of “relying on tourism reception” to next decade of “the industrial chain development”. The world-renowned cruise companies are competing markets in China, which brings huge procurement opportunity for local suppliers.

Since 2011, when China International Cruise Procurement Alliance(ICPA) was established at the First International Cruise Expo, China Cruise and Yacht Industry Association（CCYIA）has been committed to promote a collective, intensive and direct local procurement for cruise companies, expand export channels and scales of Chinese enterprises, reduce the operating costs and logistics costs of both suppliers and purchasers. At present, the local consumables, fresh food, replacement and uniform procurement proportion of Royal Caribbean and Carnival Corporation & plc is constantly increasing year by year, Genting HK is purchasing a variety kinds of cruise supplies locally. Last year, under the impetus of CCYIA, MSC Cruises successfully achieved local high-end red wine procurement.

The organizing committee of 14th China Cruise Shipping Conference & International Cruise Expo (CCS14) specially holds the Cruise Procurement Forum, planning to invite the senior procurement officers from MSC Cruises, the Carnival Corporation, Royal Caribbean Group, and Genting Cruise Lines to attend the forum and give speeches about each company’s procurement requirements and procedures system. The forum will organize One-to-one Procurement Negotiation at the same time. CCYIA sincerely invites cruise suppliers, hotel suppliers and ship equipment suppliers, to participate CCS14 with high-quality cruise products. Fully present the product advantages and brand culture to the procurement officers. The trade show and the forum is a platform to connect cruise companies once a year.
