These actions underscore the company’s robust commitment to decarbonisation as part of its global sustainability programme, Sail & Sustain.
Key components of the company’s new interim GHG reduction targets include:
Reduce GHG intensity by 10% by 2026 and 25% by 2030, compared to a 2019 baseline with intensity measured on a per capacity day basis.
The targets cover the company’s emissions from its ships, islands and facilities (Scopes 1 & 2) and upstream fuel- and energy-related activities, including well-to-tank emissions (a portion of Scope 3). The targets will capture the full well-to-wake emissions impact of the company’s fuel consumption.
Interim targets provide a roadmap to support the company’s existing net zero by 2050 ambition. The scope of this commitment expands to the company’s entire greenhouse gas footprint, including its vast network of suppliers and partners across its value chain.
“We are proud to further refine and strengthen our climate action strategy and commitments including by setting milestone GHG intensity reduction targets which will guide us on our ambitious pursuit of net zero by 2050,” said Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Ltd president and chief executive officer-elect Harry Sommer.
“Every aspect of our business, from shoreside to shipboard, is responsible for doing their part to design, deliver and demonstrate results for decarbonisation. Our board of directors has reinforced this expectation by establishing shared accountability and tying incentives for our entire management team to this critical effort. We also recently took an important step forward on our pursuit of net zero by announcing the modification of two of our future Prima Class newbuilds to accommodate the use of green methanol in the future.”
Sommer continued: “We are also activating and mobilising our full network of team members, ports and destinations, suppliers and partners, and guests to act now and join us on this transformative journey, further amplifying the efforts we could achieve on our own.”
The company’s revamped climate action strategy is centred around three pillars – efficiency, innovation and collaboration.
Efficiency
The focus is on optimising efficiency for its existing fleet, which can immediately impact onboard power consumption and GHG emissions and generate fuel savings. This includes ongoing investments in systems and technologies, such as HVAC system upgrades and waste heat recovery systems, as well as operational enhancements, such as smart itinerary and voyage planning and optimisation of hotel operations. Operational changes require data, education and accountability.
Innovation
Innovating for long-term solutions and technologies, including those that support the ability to operate on green fuels. Since 2022 is the priority. The company has completed tests of biofuel blends on multiple ships, in which a blend of approximately 30% biofuel and 70% marine gas oil has been used. The company believes biodiesel is a viable transition fuel supporting decarbonisation as long-term solutions are tested and scaled.
Longer-term, the company views green methanol as a promising solution and recently announced the modification of Norwegian Cruise Line’s final two Prima Class ships, expected to be delivered in 2027 and 2028, to accommodate the use of green methanol as an alternative fuel source in the future. While additional modifications will be needed to fully enable the use of methanol in addition to traditional marine fuel on these ships, this reinforces the company’s commitment to decarbonisation. The use of green methanol would result in a drastic reduction in emissions, including an up to 95% reduction in CO2, and its properties enable the continued use of conventional fuel storage and bunkering with fewer modifications compared to other emerging fuels in the market at this time. However, the production of green methanol is still in the early stages and will require continued investments to scale for distribution and consumption globally sufficiently.
Collaboration
The pathway to net zero will be complex. It will require significant collaboration across the company’s network of stakeholders, including suppliers, communities, governments and non-governmental organisations (NGOs), to collectively partner and find solutions to combat climate change.
The company is continuously exploring partnerships to champion efforts surrounding the development of green fuels along with the global infrastructure to produce, store and distribute these fuels. The company also views cross-sector collaboration as a catalyst for effective and accelerated change. It is active in industry associations, such as the Methanol Institute, and regional forums. For example, the company is a first-mover partner of the Pacific Northwest to Alaska Green Corridor, a collaborative effort between ports, governments and cruise operators in the region to explore a maritime green corridor aimed at accelerating the deployment of zero GHG emission ships and operations between Alaska, British Columbia, and Washington.
In addition, the company continues to actively partner with key ports to accelerate the use of shore power technology which allows cruise ships to connect to onshore electrical power grids to supply much of the power needed while docked. While the land-based infrastructure expansion is underway, the company is also equipping its ships with the technology needed to plug in, targeting to have approximately 70% of its fleet equipped by 2025.
“We are encouraged to see the significant progress and momentum across sectors to decarbonise, but fundamental challenges continue to exist for the cruise industry to fully decarbonise by 2050,” said Jessica John, vice president of ESG, Investor Relations and Corporate Communications of Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Ltd. “Rather than waiting for these challenges to dissolve, our strategy is about acting now to implement efficient solutions today, innovate for future solutions and collaborate with our stakeholders along the way. Underpinning this strategy is good governance and effective risk management as we work to advance our climate action efforts and build our company’s resilience.”
SINGAPORE, 27 April 2023: Travelport, a technology company that powers bookings for travel suppliers worldwide, released on Wednesday trend data highlighting the resurgence of outbound travel from mainland China.
Demand has continued to rise leading up to Chinese u Day (1 May 1), historically one of the most popular times for tourists from mainland China to travel.
Outbound Travel Trends
With quarantine restrictions now lifted, the first quarter of 2023 saw outbound bookings from mainland China increase by 331% compared to last year. However, mainland China is only 21% of its 2019 outbound booking levels. According to OAG, international airline capacity is at 37% of its April 2019 availability.
According to a recent McKinsey survey, pent-up demand for outbound travel from mainland China is massive, with 40% of survey respondents wanting to travel and prioritising international destinations for their next trip.
China outbound 2023: The top five destinations
1 Hong Kong SAR (#4 in 2019)
2 Macau SAR (#9 in 2019)
3 Thailand (#2 in 2019)
4 United States (#5 in 2019)
5 South Korea (#3 in 2019)
One major difference in 2023 travel is that tourists from mainland China take shorter trips, with the percentage of two-day and three to four-day trips increasing. This may explain why closer destinations, such as Hong Kong and Macau, claim the number one and two spots. Additionally, of all the flight options available from mainland China, the majority (71%) are bound for Asia Pacific.
Chinese Labour Day
Labour Day in China is an annual public holiday on 1 May. In recent years, the holiday has been expanded to include a three-day break, making it one of the most popular times of the year to travel. The two-week period from 24 April through to 7 May (the week of Labour Day and the week before) tends to be the ideal period for travellers to get away.
Due to pent-up demand, outbound travel from mainland China during this year’s holiday period has reached a three-year high. Travel bookings for these dates have increased by 470% compared to last year alone.
Additionally, unlike the rest of the year, these dates see a noticeable spike in trips longer than 10 days, which may explain why the top destinations for these travel dates are further afield. Long haul locales such as the UK and Canada have all entered the top 10 for these dates only, and the US claims the number two spot.

HONG KONG, 27 April 2023: Airport Authority Hong Kong (AAHK) released traffic figures for Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA) for March 2023.
During the month, HKIA handled 2.8 million passengers, more than 28 times the amount recorded in March 2022, and 372,000 tonnes of cargo, representing year-on-year growth of 5.8%. Flight movements in March more than doubled year on year to 20,130.
HKIA was recently awarded Level 4, “Transformation”, in Airports Council International’s Airport Carbon Accreditation (ACA) programme.
Average daily passenger traffic increased steadily over the first three weeks of April. HKIA has handled approximately 100,000 per day, reaching 50% of pre-pandemic levels.
Passenger demand continued to improve in March 2023 after the lifting of travel restrictions. All passenger segments experienced significant growth compared to the same month last year, including a strong performance by Hong Kong residents. Traffic to and from Southeast Asia, Mainland China and Japan saw the largest increases.
Cargo remained impacted by global economic uncertainties. Although cargo volume grew year on year in March 2023, this was primarily due to the low base for comparison set during the same month last year following pandemic-related supply chain disruptions. Exports grew by 19% year on year. Traffic to and from key trading regions in North America, the Middle East and Europe saw the most significant increases during the month.
Over the year’s first three months, HKIA handled 7.0 million passengers, nearly 27 times more than in 2022. Flight movements registered a year-on-year increase of 74.2% to 52,650. Cargo volume decreased by 6.3% to 950,000 tonnes.
On a 12-month rolling basis, passenger volume rose to 12.4 million, representing a 7.7-fold increase over the previous comparable period. Flight movements saw an 11.5% increase to 161,160, while cargo throughput decreased by 16% to 4.1 million tonnes.
In other news, HKIA was recently awarded Level 4, “Transformation”, in Airports Council International’s Airport Carbon Accreditation (ACA) programme, recognising the airport’s firm commitment to reducing its carbon footprint and its achievements in carbon management.
Launched in 2009, ACA is the only institutionally endorsed global carbon management certification standard for airports. It was established to help the airport industry benefit from shared expertise, achieve lower energy consumption and reduce carbon emissions.
AAHK general manager, Sustainability Peter Lee said: “We are honoured to receive ACA Level 4 accreditation, which underscores our tireless efforts in carbon management. We pledge to achieve Net Zero Carbon by 2050, with a midpoint target of 55% in absolute emissions reduction by 2035 from a 2018 baseline.”
SINGAPORE, 27 April 2023: Turkey, UAE, and Thailand are becoming more important tourist destinations for Russian travellers, while classic European destinations such as Italy, Germany, France, Spain, and Greece have seen a significant decrease.
The impact of sanctions on Russians, travel restrictions and the fall of the ruble have combined to drastically reduce the number of travellers and change the destinations Russians visit for holidays.
Mabrian, a leading travel intelligence provider, released a study on the new travel trends in the Russian market on 24 April, confirming that Turkey was the destination that gained the biggest influx of Russian tourists in 2022.
The study is based on an analysis of the hotel demand by Russian travellers and the average hotel room price in more than 700 destinations worldwide during 2022, compared with 2019 trends.
Mabrian used its travel intelligence platform to analyse more than 2 million reviews posted by Russians and the published hotel prices in the main OTA’s (Booking, Expedia and TripAdvisor) over two years.
Tourist destinations in the Middle East and Asia are gaining importance, especially Turkey, the United Arab Emirates, and Thailand.
As for closer proximity tourism, Georgia, Armenia, and Kazakhstan have become among the top 20 preferred destinations for Russians in 2022.
Meanwhile, the classic European tourist destinations, including Italy, Germany, France, Spain, and Greece, have had the most significant negative impact based on the current situation, showing a drastic decrease in Russian tourists.
Important factors that affected those tourist destinations include the impact of sanctions on Russians, the difficulties travelling from Russia to Europe due to the EU and UK visa restrictions and the ban on direct flights between Russia and Europe. The fall of the value of the ruble during the summer of 2022 is another relevant factor to be considered – especially considering that the average hotel price in Italy is, on average 46% higher than the average price in Turkey.
Mabrian director of marketing and sales Carlos Cendra said: “As one of the largest source markets for international tourism over the last 20 years, the Russian market plays a crucial role in the global travel industry, and in recent times it has become essential for destinations and companies to understand their evolving trends and preferences.
“Our study shows the current situation has deeply impacted the Russian travel market, and there is a changing profile indicating tourists are exploring destinations in the Middle East, Asia, and neighbouring countries.”
KUALA LUMPUR, 27 April 2023: The Malaysian Association of Tour and Travel Agents (MATTA) supports the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Cost of Living that stated the Malaysian Aviation Commission (MAVCOM), rather than the Consumer Claims Tribunal, should investigate flight grievances.
The ministry recently noted that complaints relating to flight services should be reported to MAVCOM. According to Section 99(1)(c) of the Consumer Protection (Amendment) Act 2015 (Act A1498), which was updated by Section 99(1) (ca), any issue relating to airline services is not within the tribunal’s jurisdiction as stated on 1 March 2016.
MATTA president Datuk Tan Kok Liang urges the Consumer Claims Tribunal to dismiss claims regarding flight tickets included in travel packages to be consistent with the ministry’s position.
“Consumers should pursue charges against airlines for failures to provide refunds and related services rather than holding travel agents liable. Travel agents should not become victims of circumstance,” he added.
Travel packages sold by travel agents are classified as services and are subject to the Consumer Protection Act 1999 [Act 599], which necessarily includes airline services. However, since 2016, MAVCOM has administered airline services and complaints.
“This has created difficulties for our industry players when dealing with these problems, notably airline-related issues involving unsatisfied customers who continue to file claims with the Consumer Tribunal for only MYR5 each. How can we defend ourselves while the airlines are subject to a different set of rules?” Tan asks.
This “fundamental flaw” becomes apparent during the Covid-19 pandemic and post-pandemic period, when the Consumer Claims Tribunal compels travel companies to reimburse tour fares to consumers. Still, airlines use credit payback methods to travel agencies. Such rulings have resulted in severe financial ramifications for travel agencies, including closing their business.
“In the interest of fairness, we suggest that the Consumer Claims Tribunal analyse its past and pending cases to reflect the present business situation. Moving ahead, we expect the Consumer Claims Tribunal to transfer consumer and travel agency issues involving flight tickets to MAVCOM and separate these tour packages from the merchant category,” said Tan.
“Finally, the most recent scenario demonstrated the 4th Schedule of the Tourism Industry Act 1992 is now irrelevant and outdated. We have reached a point of no return since this issue has been highlighted multiple times to the Federal Ministers of Tourism over the years without any positive results. Ministers ask the Secretary General of the Tourism Ministry to table the necessary amendments, but nothing comes of it.” lamented Tan.
HONG KONG, 26 April 2023: The region’s best bar talent will land in Hong Kong on 18 July for Asia’s 50 Best Bars awards ceremony to reinforce the city’s status as a leading hub for world-class cocktail experiences.
For its 2023 edition, the annual awards partner with the Hong Kong Tourism Board to bring the event to the city for the first time.
“We are delighted to host this year’s edition of Asia’s 50 Best Bars in July, one of the region’s most significant celebrations of hospitality, further affirming Hong Kong’s position as Asia’s main hub for cocktail experiences. We look forward to inspiring the region’s best bar talent with what Hong Kong has to offer,” said Hong Kong Tourism Board chairman Pang Yiu-kai.
Asia’s 50 Best Bars director of content, Mark Sansom, says: “We are very excited to host the awards in Hong Kong this year. The city has one of Asia’s most dynamic and diverse bar scenes. Despite tight border controls in the last three years, it continues to lead with amazingly innovative bar experiences. By bringing the biggest event on Asia’s bar calendar to Hong Kong, we hope to shine the spotlight on the city’s vibrant nightlife and contribute to driving travel and tourism.”
Hong Kong is a breeding ground for cocktail-making talent, and eight Hong Kong bars were featured in Asia’s 50 Best Bars 2022. In the top three, two bars were born and bred in Hong Kong; the Mexican-inspired bar COA in the No 1 spot and Argo, known for its cocktails using Asian-sourced ingredients.

SINGAPORE, 26 April 2023: Royal Caribbean Group (NYSE: RCL) released its ‘15th annual Seastainability Report’ on Monday, providing an update on its corporate responsibility strategy and performance across its three wholly owned brands – Royal Caribbean International, Celebrity Cruises and Silversea Cruises.
2022 marked a watershed moment in the company’s advancement of Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) efforts. Defining events include the 30th anniversary of the company’s first environmental programme, Save the Waves, and the first Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) report, published with the ‘2022 Seastainability Report’.
The targets and strategies laid out in the annual report highlight Royal Caribbean Group’s progress to reduce emissions and promote the safety and well-being of its guests and employees, including its commitments to sustainable tourism, protecting the oceans it sails and inspiring and empowering the communities it visits.
Report Highlights – Asia Pacific
“Surrender Your Shell” initiative, a collaboration between Royal Caribbean Group’s Australian team, WWF Australia and the Australian Museum Research Institute. As part of the initiative, the Australian government changed the federal policy for six months, allowing Australians to send historically purchased tortoiseshell products to WWF Australia without the risk of prosecution. This information helped create a “ShellBank” database to identify vulnerable turtle populations and partner with local communities, governments and the tourism industry on turtle protection initiatives.
As part of the Blue Green Promise to protect oceans, Royal Caribbean Group partnered with WWF to help protect and gather information on local whale sharks in the Philippines. Travellers worldwide can go to the small town of Donsol in the Philippines to see these endangered species. Since the start of the programme, the ocean region surrounding Donsol has been protected by new regulations, helping protect the whale shark population. Tourism has flourished, boosting the economy and quality of life for locals.
Renewing its partnership with the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) and committing an additional USD5 million to preserve ocean health
Royal Caribbean Group is building on a robust portfolio of technologies that improve energy efficiency, water treatment, and waste management; it has worked to introduce environmentally friendly ships that move the company closer to achieving Destinations Net Zero, the company’s vision for net zero emissions by 2050.
