The Dublin seminar, the 4th CTUR thematic seminar, on ‘Physical and environmental components: Cruise facilities & Transport connections’ took place on December 10-11 2009.

During the two day seminar over 36 participants, representing the CTUR partners, the AIVP, Dublin City Council (politicians and technical staff) and stakeholders in the Dublin Local Support Group, were involved.

The subject “Cruise Facilities and transport connection” was approached through the general concept of “accessibility”, as strategic tool to improve opportunities to develop cruise activities in port towns and to maximize the related positive effects.
Why in Dublin? Dublin is a very meaningful place to focus the accessibility question. Important redevelopments which are of interest for cruise tourism (Docklands, e.g.) have been already completed and further development plans are being prepared.
