2013 is certainly going to be
another big year for our industry so
for those of you already highly
engaged with everything cruise we
wish you every success.
Most exciting is the evolution of a
global cruise industry association
that was announced prior to
Christmas.
For the ICCA this means joining
forces with our sister associations
from around the world as a unified
body.
We will undergo a name change at
some point this year once all
regulatory requirements are finalised
(change in constitution and approvals
from various government entities)
which will see us trading as Cruise
Lines International Association or
CLIA Australasia.
For our members this means you
will now be part of a global entity
which will ultimately lead to
enhanced opportunities for
information sharing, networking and
training on a broader scale.
In addition to the increased reach
that we will have around the world to
assist our retail members, the goal of
such a global body will be to ensure
consistent positive messages are
being communicated through all
distribution channels with the end
user in mind – the consumer, your
customers.
Our global association model will
benefit members directly through
increased resources as well as
indirectly in driving positive
messages to your customers.
One Industry, One Voice – we look
forward to your continued support.
