CRUISE Lines International Association (CLIA) Australasia has revealed it will be expanding its CLIA LIVE training program in 2020, introducing the event on the Gold Coast for the first time.
The decision to add another city to its existing six destinations follows a highly subscribed event this year, which saw 650 tickets booked for events held in Perth, Adelaide, Sydney, Auckland, Brisbane and Melbourne.
For two days, CLIA LIVE offers agents a busy program of learning across ocean, river and expedition cruises, with the cruise event designed to suit both new-to-cruise travel agents, as well as more experienced sellers looking to keep themselves updated on the latest cruise developments.
“CLIA LIVE gives agents a rare opportunity to learn about multiple cruise lines in the one place at the one time,” said CLIA Australasia Director of Membership & Events Marita Nosic.
“It’s an excellent way to develop a detailed understanding of the different lines and learn how to match clients with the experience that will suit them,” she added.
CLIA LIVE’s theme next year will be “The Guest Experience”, and will travel to Perth on 17-18 Mar, Adelaide (01-02 Apr), Sydney (07-08 Apr), Brisbane (22-23 Apr), Gold Coast (19-20 May), Auckland (26-27 May), and Melbourne (17-18 Jun).
Tickets are available to CLIA members only and cost $50 plus GST or NZ$55 per day, with the option to attend one or both days of the event.
CLIA awards 30 accreditation points per day to all attendees.
