游轮乘客在目的地的行为是一个相当缺乏调查的现象。邮轮乘客在目的地体验的特点是单一的出入境点和相对较短的访问时间，使得GPS技术特别适合分析此类相关现象。本研究的目的是提出一个通用框架，用于收集和分析与邮轮乘客在目的地行为相关的 GPS 跟踪数据。将描述实施邮轮乘客调查的主要先决条件和研究阶段，并提出一套用于分析 GPS 跟踪数据的工具和措施及其潜在应用。作为案例研究的例子，将描述在巴勒莫和杜布罗夫尼克港口进行的两项调查，并介绍整理信息的主要结果。鉴于这种日益严重的现象给地中海许多港口目的地带来的挑战，提高我们对邮轮乘客在目的地行为的了解对于旅游目的地的管理尤其重要。
Cruise passengers' behaviour at the destination is a rather poorly investigated phenomenon. The single exit/entry point and the relatively brief visiting time, which characterize cruise passengers' experience at their destinations, make the use of GPS technology particularly suitable for the analysis of such a relevant phenomenon. The aim of this research is to propose a general framework for collecting and analysing GPS tracking data relating to cruise passengers' behaviour at their destination. The main prerequisites and research stages for the implementation of surveys on cruise passengers will be described and a set of tools and measures for the analysis of GPS tracking data will be proposed, together with their potential applications. As examples of case studies, two surveys performed in the ports of Palermo and Dubrovnik will be described and the main results of the collated information will be presented. Improving our understanding of the behaviour of cruise passengers at their destination is particularly relevant for the management of tourism destinations, given the challenges that this growing phenomenon is posing for many port destinations in the Mediterranean.
