CLIA LIVE has brought together 28 cruise lines for two days of practical travel agent training as part of the association’s annual in-person seminar program.
The Sydney event marked the sixth stop in this year’s CLIA LIVE tour, following Christchurch, Brisbane, Melbourne, Perth and Adelaide.
Auckland and the Gold Coast are still to come, with around 800 CLIA member travel agents taking part across the full program.
Marita Nosic, CLIA Director of Membership and Events in Australasia, said the event had again been fully subscribed.
“CLIA LIVE always sells out quickly – it’s a rare opportunity to learn from multiple cruise lines back-to-back. This year has brought more cruise lines into the program, including several brands that are taking part for the first time, which means agents gain an even broader view of the opportunities in cruising,” Ms Nosic said.
