| ACA & CLIA tie-up

THE Australian Cruise Association (ACA) announced a collaboration with Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA) Australasia at its annual conference on the Sunshine Coast last week.

ACA ceo Jill Abel said “over the past 12 months we’ve talked about the collaboration and better working relationship with CLIA”.

As part of the closer ties, both industry bodies will release a joint economic impact study in a few weeks, which will avoid any contrary findings or duplication from producing separate studies.

MEANWHILE the ACA named Broome as the location for its 2018 conference, to be held 12-14 Sep.
