The Green Cruising Showcase -- a special section of the trade show -- is set to debut at the 2013 Cruise Shipping Miami Exhibition, slated for Tuesday, March 12 through Thursday, March 14.
The
Showcase brings together exhibitors supplying environmental solutions
to cruise
lines into a single pavilion and provides a
platform for those exhibitors to present their products and services
directly to representatives of majorcruise lines attending the
event.
With
the increasing emphasis on environmental best practices and stricter
regulations on everything from cleaning
products to coatings to recycling and
wastewater treatment, cruise companies are sourcing products and
services that comply with regulations and improve efficiencies. The
Green Cruising Showcase enables providers of the latest products and
technologies in the environmental arena to speak directly to cruise
line buyers.
"Based
on the feedback we received from the cruise lines about the
increasing importance of the environmental perspective of the cruise
business, we felt it was imperative to provide a way to enhance
interaction between suppliers and buyers," said Daniel Read,
director of the Cruise Shipping Portfolio for UBM Live, the show
organizers. "The result is the Green Cruising Showcase, which
highlights the latest in environmental solutions and gives exhibitors
a platform to network with and tell their stories to their market and
key stakeholders."
Not
only will suppliers of "green" products and services be
collected into a dedicated sector pavilion for the first time,
exhibitors will give 25-minute product talks in an innovative
presentation theater located on the trade show floor.
