What does it mean to fly the national flag of China?
Let's get straight to the point: for a long time, international cruise ships that set off from China's home port, serve the China market and provide services for China tourists are almost all "flags of convenience" of Bahamas, Panama and Bermuda.
You know, due to taxes, restrictions on hiring crew, trade restrictions and other reasons, ships in many developed countries choose to register in countries with low taxes and loose management. This kind of flag registered in other countries and using the nationality of that country is called "flag of convenience". Why is it hanging? Because it saves money, just pay a registration fee.
Hanging the national flag of China means that all aspects such as taxation, employment, management and operation must abide by the laws and regulations of the China government. Most obviously, the ship will mainly employ employees from China and pay "insurance" to employees according to the laws and regulations of China.
Local cruise ships bid farewell to casinos.
There are many entertainment facilities on international luxury cruise ships, and casinos are almost all the entertainment facilities that international luxury cruise ships will be equipped with, and casinos are also the most important source of income for cruise companies.
But in China, casinos are forbidden, so when this cruise ship flies the flag of China, it means that you can't set up casinos, even if you say you can't go to the high seas? No, I can't, because this ship belongs to China. Since there is no casino, it is impossible to recruit jobs related to it, and naturally there will be no bookmakers!
By the same token, as long as domestic cruise ships (whether China flag is hung or not) do not set up casino departments. You said that you have experience in casinos of other international cruise companies. If you ask if there are any domestic cruise companies for this kind of job, don't ask again. There is not even a casino on this cruise ship, let alone recruiting related jobs.
At present, international cruise ships departing from China's home port are all luxury cruise ships, while Viking Susa Wind is a luxury cruise ship, belonging to a high-end niche type. There is another choice for cruise tourism in China market. The luxury here is not only reflected in the ship's facilities, services, catering, itinerary and other aspects. Even the fare is all-inclusive. Including tips, including WiFi, including shore trips to port destinations and so on.
China's rich people have another choice for leisure and entertainment.
