The theme of CCS15 is “Cruise Market Layout in Post-Epidemic Era”, focusing on the cruise industry development direction, market layout, industry chain structure and other hot topics in the post-epidemic era, and discussing economic strategies in Asia and the world.

The main forums of CCS15 include traditional Policy and Economy Forum,  Industry Leader Forum, Cruise Construction, Maintenance, and Supporting Industries Forum, and the signature Chinese-Invested Cruise Forum, Greater Bay Area Coordination Seminar(Closed-door), Cruise Purchase and Supply Meeting, Cruise Education Forum, etc.

The venue of CCS15, Guangzhou is adjacent to Hong Kong and has superior climate. It is suitable for cruise tourism throughout whole year. Since 2016, with location advantages, economic strengths, sufficient customer sources, diverse cruise lines and products, and the supports from the government, Guangzhou has grown up to Chinese third largest cruise city and the leader cruise city in south China. And its huge market potential will attract more attentions from the world in the future.

At present, China's cruise industry is in the superposition of industrial chain optimization and epidemic shutdown. With the continuous and effective promotion of epidemic control and the gradual recovery of the tourism market, CCS15 will become a beacon for the development of cruise industry in the post-epidemic era.
