CLIA’s Travel Agent Rewards Program, introduced this year, will offer agents in Australia and New Zealand the opportunity to gain rewards of more than A$1,500.

Cost of membership

‘This means agents can potentially earn the cost of their CLIA membership many times over,’ MD Joel Katz said.

CLIA’s 2022 membership programme will see the return of live events, including the annual Cruise360 conference to be held in Sydney on March 4 after the 2021 event was replaced with an online cruise forum.

The travelling education programme CLIA LIVE will also return to an in-person format, visiting major cities throughout next year. 

Katz said the 2022 membership programme has been designed to offer the best possible support to CLIA members as the industry works to accelerate its recovery.

Best equipped

‘Our aim is to ensure CLIA travel agents are the best equipped to benefit from cruising’s revival,’ he said.
