HISTORY

The cruise travel is booming in Asia. However, there is not a single organization that plays as a bridge between private sector and government in Taiwan. (International Cruise Travel Council Taiwan, as our forerunning organization, was dismissed in mid-90s, due to it was stalled in developing business). Until now, because of the rapid growth and needs in the regional cruise development, the Council is back to action and registered under the new name “International Cruise Council Taiwan.” We are meant to improve the development in cruise travel and push its related business and industries.

協會成立緣由

郵輪旅遊產業於亞洲區刻正蓬勃發展，但台灣現行未有一統籌單位作為民間與政府間溝通之橋梁(本會前身「台灣國際郵輪旅遊協會」因業務推展停滯，故已於九○年代中期解散)；現配合郵輪產業急速發展及國民郵輪旅遊的需求，恢復該協會之運作，並以「台灣國際郵輪協會」重新申請註冊，以利郵輪旅遊產業的發展及相關業務的推動。

MISSION STATEMENTS

The International Cruise Council Taiwan is aiming to integrate domestic cruise travel agencies and related business and to form a business chain in order to improve the service quality and develop new resources in tourism.
