Travel Counsellors has set its sights on boosting its cruise offering by becoming a member of CLIA.

The homeworking agency has signed a global deal so its agents in Europe, Asia, North America, South America and Australasia can benefit from CLIA events and training.

In the UK & Ireland this means access to the Learning Academy and invites to training events, ship visits and cruise conventions.

“As we continue to focus on the cruise support, tools and training we give to our agents we felt joining CLIA was a great way to further enhance this offering,” said commercial director Kirsten Hughes.  “This membership gives even more credibility to our agents when marketing themselves to potential cruise customers and gives them access to some excellent training programmes, events and products, with CLIA boasting an impressive 60 plus cruise line members globally. It’s also an effective tool for our Travel Counsellors who may be new to cruise, which again is complemented by the in-house training and support we offer.”

During this week the agency has been hosting daily cruise webcasts and distributed a cruise tool kit to help members sell itineraries during CLIA Cruise Week. A 32-page brochure was also launched that agents could personalise.

Andy Harmer, CLIA UK & Ireland director said: “The cruise sector offers huge potential for growth and I’m delighted that Travel Counsellors have become members and are investing in such a great industry. They have a great reputation in the travel industry and we have been keen to work with them and their agents for some time.
