ICCL and CLIA to Merge
ARLINGTON, Va. (June 15, 2006) - As announced today, the International Council of Cruise Lines (ICCL) will merge with its sister association Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA) and, after a transition period, both organizations will move to South Florida under the name of CLIA beginning in 2007.
The new organization, which will be led by CLIA's current president, Terry Dale, will combine ICCL's legislative and regulatory work in the United States and abroad as well as CLIA's marketing efforts and travel agent training programs.
"While the name and main location of the ICCL may change, the industry's dedication to the mission of providing a safe, secure, healthy and environmentally friendly shipboard atmosphere will remain of the utmost importance," said Michael Crye, president of the International Council of Cruise Lines.
Crye added, "The ICCL looks forward to its continued partnerships with its members, Associate Members, travel partners and government agencies through this transition."
Details regarding office and staff changes will be forthcoming.
