A NEW attendance record was set at last Fri’s Cruise360 conference in Sydney, with just over 600 travel consultants and suppliers from Australia and New Zealand gathering for the sixth annual Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA) Australasia event. Hot topics were discussed in depth by some of the industry’s leading experts and executives, including talks and panel discussions on the evolution of shore excursions, the appetite’s of Generation Z cruisers, the rising popularity of expedition cruising, and how the sector can grow more sustainably. Cruise Weekly also revealed some big news on the big stage, announcing it has expanded its reach to New Zealand.
The cruise industry’s major meeting of the minds wrapped up with CLIA Australasia Managing Director Joel Katz revealing that next year’s Cruise360 will take place in Brisbane for the first time, with the event scheduled for 28 Aug 2020. The conference’s Queensland debut will help mark the highly anticipated opening of the new Brisbane International Cruise Terminal, which has positioned the city centre stage as a key driver of cruising growth in Australia.
