Fifty members of home-based
TravelManagers network from
across Australia turned out to the
recent Cruise3sixty trade show in
Sydney, many flying in from home
cities specifically for the event.
Cruise sales continue to grow
at an unrestrained rate, with
attendees gladly making the most
of opportunities to meet with
cruise line reps to support their
individual sales targets.
Across the group, cruise sales
make up 10% of total leisure
bookings made by the group, with
the sector seeing a 32% year-onyear
increase in bookings for the
full year.
The group’s specialist cruising
division CruiseManagers is seeing
rapid growth in its ranks, with an
increasing percentage of its ranks
qualifying for inclusion via strong
cruise sales or CLIA accreditation.
This has been helped by the
recent creation of “Cruise Fusion”,
a personal development program
devised in conjunction with
Cruise1st (TD 12 Nov) to assist
PTMs qualify as CruiseManagers.
The attending Personal
Travel Managers and National
Partnership Office staff are
