Abstract

In the last years the cruise tourism has increased in Uruguay. In 2009/10 arrived 292,048 cruise passengers pro- ducing an average expenditure of U$S 61.05. The present study uses the cruise surveys of 2008/09 and 2009/09 to analyze the cruise passenger profile determining this expense level. We found that the Argentinean tourist reduces the expenditure in 29% and 41%, whereas the Brazilian tourist increases the average expenditure in 21% and 16% per head. The probability of spending is 86% and 86% in each period, and the displeasure for the prices decreases the probability in 7 and 4 perceptual points
