Conference sessions cover pertinent industry issues including an
assessment of the state of the industry, shipbuilding and refurbishment,

New this year is the Green Certificate Program developed by Cruise
Shipping Miami in partnership with Sustainable Travel International. This
program debuted at the Cruise Shipping Virtual, the online tradeshow and
conference which took place in September 2010. The three-tiered certificate
program includes live conference sessions and webinars designed to help
travel professionals and exhibitors recognize and achieve the benefits
associated with sustainable tourism. During Cruise Shipping Miami 2011 there
will be dedicated green-focused conference sessions to apply towards the
certificate program. Information on the Green Certificate Program is
available at www.cruiseshippingmiami.com/green-certificate-program.
