Australia’s major cruise
industry events next year will be
held in different months, CLIA
Australasia has today announced.
Calendars can now be planned
for the annual Cruise Awards
dinner to take place on 20 Feb,
while the third Cruise3sixty trade
show will take place on 06 May.
For the two year history so far
of Cruise3sixty Australasia, the
event has taken place the day
prior to the Cruise Awards dinner.
CLIA Australasia general
manager Brett Jardine said there were a number of reasons for
holding the two events at different
stages of the year next year.
He said the new schedule was
testament to the growth of the
local cruise industry but that
holding Cruise3sixty later reflected
the expansion of both CLIA
Australasia and the event itself.
“While both the awards and
Cruise3sixty have been held in
February the past two years, we
know that the peak of the cruise
season is an increasingly busy
time, not only for our delegates
but also for our speakers and
sponsors,” Jardine said.
Both events will return to The
Star Event Centre next year, which
Jardine said proved popular.
Tickets to both events will go on
sale later in the year.
