PICTURED here catching up at this week’s Asia-Pacific Incentives and Meetings Expo (AIME) at the Melbourne Convention Centre is Chris Perkins, sales and marketing manager at Orion Expedition Cruises and Jane Tanti, sales manager for Oceania Cruises. The pair caught up at AIME to discuss the promotion of cruising as an option for the conference and incentive market. “Orion has already had great success with ship charters and conference groups, and Oceania is trying to break into this lucrative market,” Jane said. Jane said that with the launch of Marina last year, and the new Riviera in May this year capacity has increased for Oceania and that this opens up a lot of new opportunities. Other cruise lines represented at AIME included Silversea and Sea Dream Yacht Club, both of which reported full dance cards of scheduled appointments with incentive organisers.
