Tahiti will play host to the
inaugural South Pacific Cruise
Forum, aimed at bringing together
parties involved in the region’s
cruise industry on 16-17 Oct.
Tourism Ministers from South
Pacific nations, tourist office
managers, port representatives,
airport management and bosses
from cruise lines, airlines, tour
firms and suppliers will all be
invited to the landmark gathering.
Overseeing proceedings will be
CLIA Executive Partner, the South
Pacific Cruise Alliance.
A series of discussions, panels,
conference sessions and meetings
will take place over the two days
designed to foster relationships,
highlight the region’s existing
development and promote its
drawcards to cruise operators.
CLIA Australasia general
manager Brett Jardine said the
region was already the most
popular for Australians and New
Zealanders, making this a crucial
date on the sector’s calendar as
the region has “so much potential
for growth”.
Topics will include how to
attract new international calls,
market overviews, opportunities
for growth, green ideas and more.
Jardine added cruise lines were
showing an interest in broadening
their South Pacific boundaries
and finding new locations to be
able to take their passengers.
Registrations for the event are
now open, and guest speakers
will be detailed in coming weeks.
