Abstract

The expansion of urban development and commercial centers within the geographical boundaries of ports and cities has significantly contributed to the growth of national income. However, maritime-based countries face the challenge of staying competitive in the dynamic port city landscape. To address these issues, this paper employs a bibliometric approach to review existing literature on port cities, identifies challenges faced by port cities as cruise visitor attractions, and proposes a new framework for their sustainable future in the maritime cruise industry. By analysing 73 journal articles through VoS Viewer and employing content analysis with NVivo 12 software. The outcome shows the utilising the hinterland effectively can help alleviate congestion in seaports and cities, leading to reduced air emissions from mobility services.
