Clia has added a new range of trade-friendly features and resources to its website to help further support agents.
New training opportunities, sales tools and information resources are now available online, including a "booking guidelines" page, which contains details of how agents can work with cruise lines to become an authorised seller.
A compilation of the latest fam trip, ship visit and network opportunities from across Clia’s member cruise lines is also now available, as well as an outline of the online training opportunities on offer.
A link and more information on Clia’s new interactive sustainability toolkit, which highlights how the cruise industry is advancing its sustainability agenda has been added, as have recordings of the recent "boot camp" training webinars.
Itinerary experience factsheets have been produced to boost destination knowledge of three key cruise itineraries: the western Mediterranean, eastern Caribbean and northern Europe, while additional details of the association’s Riverbank fund have also been added.
Clia has also included new details of its 2023 Clia Cruise Master Award, as well as Cruise Daily, which contains the latest cruise news, agent-specific updates including new training guides, cruise line initiatives and competition winners.
Andy Harmer, managing director for Clia UK and Ireland, said: "Cruise trade enquiries and bookings are on the crest of a wave, and we’re determined to help agents capitalise on that momentum.
"From sales advice and funding opportunities, to the latest news and views on the sector, our enhanced website ensures a wealth of insight and know-how is at agent’s fingertips."
