| CLIA update 21 Apr 21

WITH Joel Katz, MD, CLIA Australasia – Reinforce our message: Important discussions with government have continued in recent days as CLIA and cruise lines push for an urgent pathway forward for our industry.

Working across multiple agencies
and ministries, this is a complex
process and involves detailed
discussions.
Though we don’t have news to
announce just yet, we continue to
apply pressure and point out the
devastating impact of the cruise
suspension on local communities.
To help travel agents and other
stakeholders reinforce our message,
CLIA has expanded its #WeAreCruise
pages, which include a new fact sheet
on our Model for Responsible Sailing.
This guide explains the extensive
health measures cruise lines have
adopted globally and our vision for
their implementation in Australia and
New Zealand, beginning initially with
carefully controlled domestic sailings.
Visit WeAreCruise.org to find out
more.
CLIA and our supporters have also
been busy in the media recently,
appearing on television, radio and in
print to highlight the urgent need for
a path forward.
In Australia this has included Sunrise
and Today, and in New Zealand TVNZ.
CLIA is planning other initiatives
to raise our voice, and we’ll tell you
more soon. In the meantime, visit
our Facebook and LinkedIn pages
to see some of our latest news and
help share our messages in your own
communities.
