For Immediate Release
Sydney, Australia: Travel Agents and Cruise Wholesalers are invited to join TravMedia's forthcoming At Home with webinar on the current state of play for domestic cruise lines.
TravMedia's Founder and CEO Nick Wayland will host an all-star panel of who's who in the cruise industry, including Monique Ponfoort, CEO Aurora Expeditions; Chris Hall, Group Managing Director Australian Pacific Holdings; Jeff Gilles, Commercial Director Coral Expeditions; and Aaron Russ, Commercial Director Heritage Expeditions & Managing Director Wild Earth Travel. Nick will unpack the current challenges facing cruise operators plying domestic waters, the opportunities and trends, and how cruise operators are innovating to capture future demand.
Registration for this one-hour live webinar on August 4th, 2021, at 1pm AEST can be made here.
“Pooling the tremendous knowledge and talent of these panellists will help provide the very latest in information for those that have a stake in the cruise industry,” said Nick.
Pre-Covid, the cruising sector within Australia contributed more than $5 billion to the economy and employed over 18,000 full-time jobs. In New Zealand, the economic contribution neared close to $700 million, with over 12,000 full-time jobs.
This webinar will delve into the protocols that these cruise lines have adopted for passenger and staff safety, what developments have been observed in the customer buying process, how distribution to market is changing and what product innovation looks like to win customers in the future.
Registrants can post their questions for the panel at the point of registration.
“We know there's pent up demand for cruising. We want to ensure the audience that tunes in are better equipped to market and sell these cruise brands and capitalise on forward demand.”
“This webinar will deliver what you need to know,” Wayland added.
