RIVER cruising will take the limelight at Cruise360 this year as Avalon Waterways President Pam Hoffee (pictured) takes the stage at the year’s biggest annual cruise industry conference.
Hoffee will take guests on a journey of some of the great rivers of the world this Sep, as the first of several global cruise industry leaders to join the line-up of this year’s Cruise360.
To be held in Brisbane for the first time, the event is expected to attract around 600 delegates for a packed program of industry speakers and panel sessions, each giving insight into cruising’s global trajectory.
Hoffee has been a long-time executive of Avalon and its parent company Globus.
She has overseen the introduction of new product initiatives based on active experiences and cultural discoveries, as well as a continued expansion of Avalon’s fleet.
Hoffee will explain the evolution underway in river cruising and the opportunities this presents for travel advisors and their clients.
“Rivers have been the lifeblood of communities for millennia and have come to provide incredibly rich experiences for travellers through river cruising,” CLIA Managing Director Joel Katz said.
“Hoffee has led Avalon Waterways through a time of great innovation in river cruising, so will be able to provide fantastic insight into what river cruise guests are seeking and how the industry has changed to broaden their experiences.”
The Cruise360 conference and trade show will be held on 07 Sep at the Royal International Convention Centre in Brisbane, with an industry-wide welcome event on the night of 06 Sep.
