The "Provisions of Shanghai Municipality on Promoting the Development of Cruise Economy" was formally implemented, with the goal of promoting Shanghai to become a cruise economic center in the Asia-Pacific region. The regulation establishes the development principle of combining market-led and government guidance, and constructs a cruise economic pattern with hub ports, headquarters ports and manufacturing ports as the core. In terms of tourism development, encourage the development of diversified products such as international routes and aimlessly upstream seas, and attract overseas tourists to promote inbound tourism. Customs clearance facilitation measures include optimizing the guarantee of cruise ships entering and leaving the port, improving the joint inspection system and promoting the "single window" service, while improving the efficiency of material supply through the preparation of a list of supplies and the construction of distribution centers. In terms of manufacturing port construction, emphasis is placed on strengthening cruise ship research and development design, final assembly construction and maintenance and transformation capabilities, and promoting key equipment research and development and industrial agglomeration. In addition, the regulations also make specific arrangements for personnel training, safety management emergency plans and one-stop dispute resolution mechanisms, providing systematic policy support and legal guarantee for the comprehensive and high-quality development of Shanghai's cruise economy.
