We conducted questionnaire surveys on cruise passengers of eight cruise callings to Japanese ports to clarify the difference of consumption by characteristics of passengers, and calculated the economic impact precisely. It was revealed that the average consumption varied by the nationality of passenger, cruise class, and the number of ports of call in Japan, and that the nationality of passenger also influenced on the participation percentage of optional tour at the calling ports and the percentage of staying before/after cruising. In addition, we calculated the percentage of numbers of passenger sightseeing spots within or outside the port manager's municipalities, and estimated the respective economic impacts.
