A bumper week
AS WE are now halfway
through Cruise Week, we certainly
hope activity levels of all involved
are now at a peak.
If feedback into the CLIA office
is anything to go by, then we
should be able to call Cruise Week
2015 the best cruise sales week
ever in this region!
With cruise lines reporting some
record days and many retailers
boasting about some first class
initiatives, it is little wonder
Cruise Week has now established
itself on our annual calendar.
Sales results aside, what has
been very evident during Cruise
Week has been the media
interest.
A function of CLIA that is
difficult to measure is the reach
of our industry focused public
relations activity.
The requests received for
additional commentary around
Cruise Week and the impending
start of our domestic cruise
season has been noticeably
higher than the comparable time
in recent years, so one can be
certain there are a lot of people
out there talking about cruising
this week – mission accomplished!
As we all celebrate Cruise Week,
I’d like to take a moment to
acknowledge a dear friend of the
cruise industry – Glenn Wheeler.
Following a terrible accident just
four weeks before he was due to
host our Cruise3sixty conference,
Glenn remains in hospital.
Google “Glenn Wheeler video”
to watch a very touching tribute.
