Abstract: In 2004, the International Ecotourism Society reported that over 1.2 million passengers travelled to polar regions by cruise ship raising concerns about the carrying capacity of these destinations. Policy makers point out that in general the planning and development of cruise tourism is just beginning to be recognized arguing that there is a need for more integrated coastal management strategies that foster a process through which decisions are made for sustainable use, development and protection of areas and resources. In Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada’s most easterly Province, a 19% growth rate in cruise passengers from 2004 to 2009 resulted in an overall direct and indirect economic impact that surpassed CAD$10.7 million.
