AB This study presents a dynamic model for the management of a cruise port, simulating the behavior of the systemunder different scenarios for the period 2015–2025. The proposed management system considers the factors thatdetermine the demand and supply of cruise passengers and the existing relationships between them, which hasallowed simulations to be carried out using System Dynamics (SD) modelling. With information referring to thecase Malaga’s cruise port (Spain), the results show future scenarios in which the flow of cruise passengers isconditioned both by the effects of COVID-19 and by the tourism and macroeconomic environment. The resultsalso suggest that SD modelling is a tool that can be used to support decision-making in cruise port managementby helping to identify strategies that guarantee the sustainability of the system.
