Andalusia has firmly positioned itself as an international benchmark in nautical and cruise tourism, following the presentation of its 2025 Action Plan at FITUR, the leading global tourism fair. This comprehensive strategy focuses on innovation, sustainability, and international collaboration, placing Andalusian ports at the heart of the Mediterranean and Atlantic maritime routes.

A Clear Vision for the Future of Nautical Tourism

Three key initiatives were unveiled at the Andalusia Pavilion:

• The Joint Action Plan for the Promotion of Nautical and Cruise Tourism,
• The International Congress CITCA 2025, and
• The latest OBSERTUR 2024 report, which offers deep insights into the behavior of cruise passengers visiting Andalusia.

CITCA 2025: A Landmark Event for the Sector

The International Congress on Cruise and Nautical Tourism (CITCA) will take place from October 15 to 17 in Motril and Granada, bringing together port authorities, shipping agents, tourism operators, and industry leaders. From a Fam Trip through the Costa Tropical to high-level workshops and business panels, CITCA 2025 is expected to drive new collaborations and opportunities across the nautical tourism sector.

Andalusia as a Strategic Hub for Maritime Tourism

This renewed focus on cruise and nautical tourism not only boosts regional tourism but also strengthens the local economy, fosters international partnerships, and promotes innovation among small and medium enterprises. Companies like Lamaignere Shipping, a leading ship and yacht agent operating in key Andalusian ports, play an essential role in facilitating these maritime experiences with tailored services and deep industry knowledge.

With operations in Seville, Cádiz, Málaga, and Huelva, Lamaignere Shipping supports cruise lines, yacht owners, and logistics operators with end-to-end port services — all designed to make each call efficient, sustainable, and memorable.

OBSERTUR 2024: Understanding the Cruise Passenger Experience

Another highlight of the event was the release of the OBSERTUR 2024 report, which analyzes the emotions, decisions, and behavior of cruise passengers throughout their visit. This data is invaluable for improving service design and guiding strategic decisions for shipping companies, tourism boards, and port agents like Lamaignere Shipping, helping to elevate Andalusia’s competitiveness in the global tourism market.
