THE Australian Cruise Association (ACA) has cancelled this year’s Annual Conference, rescheduling it to 2022.
As a result of ongoing border closures, the next conference will be held from 07-09 Sep 2022, with ACA to soon confirm the speaker line-up.
The event will still be held at The Ville Resort-Casino in Townsville (pictured), with networking activities and pre- and post- touring options to give attendees an opportunity to get to know one of Queensland’s popular cruise destinations.
ACA also aims to hold a series of cruise-ready workshops early next year.
Delegates who have registered for the conference and booked their accommodation will be automatically moved to the new dates with ACA honouring the existing pricing.
Registration remains open for new bookings HERE.
“We were hopeful that the border openings would be further advanced to allow us to meet the Nov dates, but we are not confident that will now be the case,” said ACA Chief Executive Officer Jill Abel.
“In the interim, we are looking at holding a series of cruise-ready workshops in the early part of next year.
“We are increasingly confident that domestic cruising will start to build by that time and it will give us the opportunity to reconnect with our members.”
Prior to the cancellation, the ACA in Aug moved its 2021 conference to Nov, due to the outbreak of the Delta variant.
