passage, dining/bars and gift shop/ arcades. The foreign-flag cruise in- dustry may boast to potential inves- tors in public offerings that it weath- ered the recession and Operation

Desert Storm. During the same pe- riod, however, an All-American in- dustry exploded and is still growing!

Some analysts are beginning to re- examine the outdated belief that

U.S. operating costs are prohibitive and regulations too burdensome.

While certainly different from the cruise sector, the experience in the gaming boat market coupled with recent developments in federal law is a strong indicator that a U.S.-flag cruise operation can succeed.

A splendid array of coastwise and nearby foreign itineraries, enhanced shipboard convention deductibility, and shipboard gaming coupled with marketing an American product will all help to propel the development of a U.S.-flag cruise fleet. Not all the steps have been taken, but the progress made thus far and a grow- ing determination on the part of

U.S. marine industries to play a greater role will eventually launch a

U.S.-flag industry which will not only survive but prosper.
