Cruising is for
everyone
CRUISE Down Under chairman
Stephen Bradford attended the
Cruise New Zealand conference
in Auckland last month and was
impressed with the continuing
demand for cruise ships to the
region, the response to the
destination by international cruise
ship directors and the number of
passengers on those vessels.
The positive response from
delegates was encouraging and
NZ’s continuing success is being
driven by its close proximity to
Australia and its popularity with
international cruise lines.
Here in Australia, our role at
Cruise Down Under is to not only
raise awareness of the cruise
industry but to also ensure the
benefits of cruising flow from the
vessels all the way through to
Australians, by way of our members.
All of our 78 members are
Australian and represent a broad
cross section of the cruise industry
including state and regional tourism
offices, ports, ground handlers
and service providers. It is our role
to extend the benefits of cruising
from the ships through to all the
stakeholders involved in this great
industry.
There are now just three weeks to
go until our own CDU Conference,
taking place at the Hilton Darwin
from 2-4 September. In addition
to being the key cruise industry
event in Australia, it will be a
great networking opportunity for
everyone involved in the industry.
Details on our members, our
conference program and online
registration are available at
