Résumé
Les autorités portuaires sont aujourd’hui de plus en plus attentives aux risques sociétaux et environnementaux liés à leurs activités de croisière. Plusieurs de ces ports sont de fait engagés dans une approche structurée et, pour certains, déjà ancienne visant à réduire les externalités négatives des escales des navires de croisière. Cependant, l’analyse du contenu de 36 sites web d’autorités portuaires a montré que très peu d’entre elles rendent compte de tels plans d’action. Sur la base d’une revue de littérature traitant des approches de positionnement de marque des autorités portuaires, l’objectif de cet article est de promouvoir la nécessité et la faisabilité pour celles-ci de diffuser de l’information sur leurs actions passées, en cours et/ou à venir en faveur d’un tourisme de croisière durable.

Abstract
Port authorities are now paying growing attention to the social and environmental risks associated with their cruise operations. Several of these ports are in fact engaged in a structured and, for some, already long-standing approach aimed at reducing the negative externalities of cruise ship stopovers. However, the content analysis of 36 port authority websites revealed that very few of them report on such action plans. Based on the review of literature dealing with port authority market positioning approaches, the purpose of this paper is to promote the necessity and feasibility for port authorities to disseminate information on their past, ongoing and/or future actions in favour of sustainable cruise tourism.
