THE 25th annual Australian Cruise Association (ACA) conference will take place in Wollongong from 30 Aug-01 Sep 2023 (CW breaking news), with ACA CEO Jill Abel announcing the location as she wrapped up this year’s gathering in Townsville yesterday afternoon.
“It is important for us to continue to support Australia’s regional port network which faced a particularly challenging time over the past couple of years,” Abel said.
She said regional destinations are likely to play an increasingly important role in the regrowth of the cruise tourism sector in Australia, providing new opportunities for cruise lines to include them on itineraries.
