Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA) Australasia is inviting travel agencies across Australia and New Zealand to join its growing ranks of cruise agents, with a special introductory offer including two months free membership.

CLIA Australasia and Asia Managing Director Joel Katz said anyone who signed up now would receive the remainder of the year for free, giving them a head start on 2019. 

“While there are many reasons to become a CLIA member, one of the most valuable is gaining access to all of our resources. In a competitive industry, knowledge and insight can be the best way to get an edge over the competition and CLIA’s ongoing training and education program is second to none,” Mr Katz said. 

“The cruise industry is booming and the best way to stay across all the changes and innovations, while also reaping the rewards, is to become a CLIA accredited agent.”
