The new toolkit – which includes reports, statistics, maps, posters and infographics – is accessible to all and contains information in multiple languages that can be downloaded and shared.
The first edition of the toolkit, which was launched at Clia’s European Summit, is available in English, French, German, Italian, Norwegian and Spanish.
As well as featuring the various environmental innovations being introduced onboard cruise ships, the toolkit, Clia said, is a way to raise awareness with local communities about how cruising is an "integral part" of societies and economies.
The site includes good practice examples of cooperation between cruise lines, business organisations, ports, and local authorities.
