The Cruises market in Bolivia has been experiencing a notable growth in recent years, reflecting the global trend of increasing interest in cruise travel.
Customer preferences: Bolivian customers are showing a growing preference for cruise vacations, attracted by the convenience of all-inclusive packages and the opportunity to visit multiple destinations in one trip. The desire for unique and experiential travel experiences is also driving the demand for cruises among Bolivian travelers.
Trends in the market: One of the key trends in the Cruises market in Bolivia is the rise of expedition cruises to remote and exotic destinations. Bolivian travelers are increasingly seeking off-the-beaten-path experiences, leading to a surge in bookings for cruises to destinations such as Antarctica, the Galapagos Islands, and the Arctic. Additionally, themed cruises focusing on wellness, adventure, or culinary experiences are gaining popularity among Bolivian consumers.
Local special circumstances: Despite being a landlocked country, Bolivia's growing middle class and increasing disposable income levels are contributing to the expansion of the Cruises market. Bolivian travelers are willing to travel to coastal countries to embark on cruise vacations, showcasing a strong interest in exploring the world by sea. The country's unique geography, with diverse landscapes ranging from the Andes Mountains to the Amazon rainforest, also plays a role in shaping the travel preferences of Bolivian cruise passengers.
Underlying macroeconomic factors: The improving economic conditions in Bolivia, coupled with a stable political environment, are supporting the growth of the Cruises market in the country. As more Bolivians enter the middle-income bracket, they are looking for new and exciting travel experiences, with cruises offering a convenient and luxurious way to explore different parts of the world. The government's efforts to promote tourism and improve infrastructure are further bolstering the development of the cruise industry in Bolivia.
Data coverage:
The data encompasses B2C enterprises. Figures are based on bookings, revenues, and sales channels of cruises.Modeling approach:
Market sizes are determined through a bottom-up approach, building on a specific rationale for each market. As a basis for evaluating markets, we use financial reports, the Global Consumer Survey, third-party studies and reports, data from industry associations (e.g., UNWTO), and price data of major players in respective markets. To estimate the number of users and bookings, we furthermore use data from the Statista Consumer Insigths Global survey. In addition, we use relevant key market indicators and data from country-specific associations, such as country-related GDP, demographic data (e.g., population), tourism spending, consumer spending, internet penetration, and device penetration. This data helps us estimate the market size for each country individually.Forecasts:
In our forecasts, we apply diverse forecasting techniques. The selection of forecasting techniques is based on the behavior of the relevant market. For example, ARIMA, which allows time series forecasts, accounting for stationarity of data and enabling short-term estimates. Additionally, simple linear regression, Holt-Winters forecast, and exponential trend smoothing methods are applied. A k-means cluster analysis allows for the estimation of similar countries. The main drivers are tourism GDP per capita and respective price indices.Additional notes:
The data is modeled using current exchange rates. The market is updated twice a year in case market dynamics change.
