The Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA)`s must-attend travel agent conference, cruise3sixty, in 2007 will return to the Greater Fort Lauderdale/Broward County Convention Center in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. Core cruise3sixty conference events will be held from March 30 through April 1, 2007, with additional agent workshops/ship inspections available on March 29 and April 2.
cruise3sixty 2007, like the first two CLIA conferences, will set new standards for travel industry gatherings by offering incisive commentary from cruising`s highest-level executives, gold standard CLIA training programs, cruise line product demonstrations, a dynamic trade show and one-on-one appointments with senior cruise line management.
Greater Fort Lauderdale has done a wonderful job as the host of the first two cruise3sixty events. For this reason, we are delighted to return, said CLIA President and CEO Terry L. Dale. Greater Fort Lauderdale`s outstanding facilities and services, and the conference center`s proximity to Port Everglades, have been instrumental in the enthusiastic response the previous cruise3sixty conferences have earned from North America`s travel agents. We expect cruise3sixty 2007 to be equally valuable for CLIA-member agency professionals.
Indeed, the recently completed cruise3sixty 2006, held from April 8 to 11, received rave reviews. This is the second year that I found cruise3sixty to be a `don`t miss` show, said Sylvia Berman, owner of Post Haste Travel in Hollywood, Fla. The format is just fabulous. I don`t think there`s another conference that provides cruise consultants with the information they get at cruise3sixty.
cruise3sixty exhibitors were equally enthusiastic. Once again, the contacts and visibility we gained with top travel agents made cruise3sixty`s trade show and conference a huge success for us, said Claudia Quas, project manager – cruises, Stockholm Cruise Network, Stockholm Visitors Board. Our seminar allowed us to reach out to a large audience, and we look forward to an even more successful conference next year.
CLIA`s cruise3sixty 2007 will provide attendees with cutting-edge education, timely industry information and crucial marketing support. Attendees will also have the opportunity to inspect CLIA-member line cruise ships at Port Everglades and the Port of Miami.
We couldn`t be more thrilled to host cruise3sixty 2007, said Nicki E. Grossman, president of the Greater Fort Lauderdale Convention & Visitors Bureau. There is no better endorsement than to have an esteemed organization such as CLIA choose to host its premier cruise industry event in Greater Fort Lauderdale three years in a row.
