1. To specify the layout and function of the cruise ports, prevent the unnecessary construction from coastal cities around China. Meanwhile, expect to build the multi-function cruise terminal and compatible facilities for both the security and passenger, suffice to service the cruise market at this moment, avoid the unnecessary landmarks construction of cruise port. We suggest the Ministry of Transport of P.R.C release the Cruise Port (terminal) Construction Guideline ASAP.
2. To promote the development of cross-strait cruise tourism via legal aspects, the Ministry of Transport of P.R.C should arrange the Cross-strait Cruise Policies Development into the agenda in SEF（Straits Exchange Foundation）, ARATS (Association for Relations Across the Taiwan Strait), TSTA (Taiwan Strait Tourism Association) and CTEA (Cross-Straits Tourism Exchange Association) .
3.

4. To enhance the effective management on international curise passenger market in China, we suggest the Ministry of Transport of P.R.C authorize CCYIA on preparation of 'China Cruise Booking Center-CCBC' project, and establish the integrate cruise ticket distribution network on state level.
