and with that, you're up to date to produce, to go down for up next to each up your business, which looks at why the cruise industry is the fastest growing sector and towards that box of the big number, such as far as the thank you so much for being with us, the nice to be at the end just to pass it, got any difficult to access an expedition ventures on to places that no one has the why is the ice melts? the assignment research in the i c d, w are weekly

cost. in the rain forest continue, carbon dioxide emissions have risen again. the people of the world are we? what impact the biggest change doesn't happen the make up your own mind. me. the 5 time speakers and the titanic. this is what the newest cruise ship looks like today. and it's booking at fast. the cruise industry is the most rapid growing towards some sector generation 1000000000, and we visited co,

samelle and mexico to see what all the fuss is the base. we wanted to know what literally powers this multi $1000000000.00 industry on this episode of transforming business. we're walk in the bows. things used to be different, cruising worth of santia. yes, there were swimming pools and 1st class dining, but the liners themselves were a lot smaller. they carried around 3 sides and passengers per trip. and overall, the industry was marked by a certain refinements and many now, here we are today. this is the largest cruise ship ever built. it's called icon of the seas, and measure is 365 minutes for as long as can carry 10000 people at a time. just over 3 quarters of those passengers. i caught up the seas as a reflective pulse device and fridays of a booming cruise industry. this ship has just launched and was already open for reservations in 2025 cruise passenger numbers globally are set to hit 36000000 this

year. and that figure is expected to continually increase, but what's left should be powering all of this. technically in the case of only kind of the seas, it's liquefied natural gas, or l n g. it's seen as a more environmentally friendly fuel. more on the laser, we asked its owners world caribbean for an interview on that sustainability strategy, or representative from the company never materialized within our deadline. but we did this to get hold of carnival corporation. the biggest cruise company in the world, when, if it slogans sustainable from ship the shore. we recognize we have a like, a need to maintain a pristine environment. so because that's what people come to see, they don't, they don't want to go see the things that have deteriorated. ringback to see beautiful places that we try to take them there. that's spelled back who's charged with making kind of a safer company for the environments. here at the top 5 cruise points in the world

. every year, millions of people visits quick miami in the us tops the let's we travel to the mexican island of coast to maryland. the caribbean sea is part of one of the largest barrier. reese in the world. cruise is a gives you actually the opportunity to visit many different islands. um, throughout your 7 days you can hit so many different ports. the ships are amazing and there's so many things to do on them, your goal and that goes for one way. and you can spend of $12000.00 about you have everything we did our own internet search and find that you can actually get a weeklong cruise to caribbean for range of 635 dollars plus taxes and put fees. and under the 20 banner of sustainable tourism or climate consciousness. in fact, one study says half of what americans, police, priest, holidays,

are environmentally friendly. and this green bond is one probably by the top 3 cruise carnival world caribbean norwegian. norwegian is toying aids, bio fuel mix plants and continues to use marine gas or oil. and the longer term if these green metals as a promising source, our kind of island would caribbean, continue to use traditional views and they both chose the currencies of l. a. n. g is the best fuel available today for us to use from greenhouse gas perspective. and we've pioneered that within the industry, has 9 eddings and ships with 2 more on order. and when the roll on stream or on shore, whether the guess capacity of those 11 ships will represent 20 percent of its lease, that's a significant investment in a fossil fuel. the company's 1st l. n. g capable vessel is reported to have cost $950000000.00 to build that i guess big the world's biggest crews company kind of

a has the money to bring. basically the cruise industry is expected to generate revenue to the june of just over 30000000000 dollars this year in 2027. the indicator is that this figure will jump to almost $36000000000.00. and the regents cruise ships don't cost also benefits. a study from the crews, industry bodies sunset. passengers alone spend buys $100.00 at visiting cruise ports in coast amount. local businesses thing, the praise of the crew sector, and course the, undoubtedly the crews invest 3 is the one that rings the most benefit to the island duties. the we also have national tourist, but what gives us the most impact is the international crew that will say that the community, the intake level is the reason why a cruise torres, them to cut them out of 90 percent of the reason we have jobs on the island since the last that but in the soul plus hecky. because we are part of a lot of because we may look into a particular case of causing amounts. we're approaching $400000000.00 in economic

benefits for a population that does not reach $200000.00 inhabitants, nor the guy logo in for me. let me sample book books are they hadn't cos, according to one study cruising is more than double the carbon emissions of flying and staying in a 4 star hotel various cities and creating one of your busiest ports. barcelona has moved to restrict cruise ships because of their emissions. norway has also a names that from 2026 vessels with 0 emissions will be aligned to visit us. it's fjords. it follows research that games, cruise liners in europe, and miss as many toxic air pollutants as 1000000000 cars. after van expands and large crews liners from anchoring and it's a storage size, it's reports that the air pollutants felt like 80 percent. but hold on something to move to using liquefied natural gas, sol, all of this, no carbon their rice,

the easiest way to comply with the regulations on saw for nitrogen oxides and carbon dioxide intensity. all of the same time. you use liquefied natural gas because it contains almost no sulfur and it emits about 25 percent less carbon dioxide emissions, but conventional keels frank comb or is not convinced by liquefied natural gas being used in the shipping sector. c, n, n g is made up of methane, a gas that doesn't stay in the atmosphere as long as carbon dioxide, but it's 8 times more one in for our promise in the short time. and what's interesting about maritime companies using l. n g is days. many of them are choosing liquefied natural gas as their fuel. and the engines that cruise ships use tend to be those that email the most about unburned methane to the atmosphere. and we call that methane slip. this and for red camera shows the ship burning l. n. g,

because you see illustrate the methane that's escaping the methane slips, the more methane, the bigger the kind. the cruise ship industry emits about $30000000.00 tons of greenhouse gases each year. and that's the same as $75.00 natural gas powered power plants. what do you mean each year for environmental us here in coast amount, who oppose cruise ships? they see a call on the sector as critical. philadelphia billing there, but it's only 30 for us to process where a diversity is with the quantity of resources under his feet. in north we went up to look at them when he, 1st of all a look at the group home. that's a large number. fish that would that are in those tight. yeah. the yeah. and this is that for 2000 was what so cost amounts of tours. you mean you're just a minute please. and now we don't have time. she gets added to the question of

what's hiring this multi $1000000000.00 industry. well, it's carry demands. just look at the size of like kind of the seas. yes, it's run on l n. g, a fossil fuel made up of methane, one of the drivers of global warming. but whatever fuels that are being used, it's periods are in flux, as the industry grapples with a warming, thomas, and tries to color in between the lines. for the more for image of the lines, however, those of our environments we might already be over the edge. we don't want any more creases and to see that the community opponents associated with somebody. would you take a cruise? let us know in the comments below, and if he likes this episode, please check out the transforming business playlist for videos on topics just like this one. the,
