Port Targets Untapped Excursion Market with New Passenger Tracking System<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Only 28 to 32 percent of cruise passengers in Antigua currently take part in organised shore excursions, highlighting a major opportunity for increased local economic activity, according to Operations Manager Rawle Reynolds<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Speaking during the Cruise Connect forum, Reynolds <\/a><\/strong>announced that the port is introducing electronic tracking systems to better understand visitor behaviour and spending patterns.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The technology will include smartphone-based tagging to monitor passenger movements more accurately, especially those not engaged in pre-booked tours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMost of the vessels that come here, it\u2019s been a very tedious process of trying to track their actual number of passengers actually disembark on land,\u201d Reynolds said. <\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The new system, he added, will provide clearer data on \u201cunique numbers [of those] who actually come into our shores broken down significantly.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Port officials believe the data will help tailor services and boost local business participation in the growing cruise sector.<\/p>
