On The Eve of Cruising's National Month-long Celebration!
CLIA Today September 23, 2011 Bob Sharak- Executive Vice President, Marketing and Distribution
Twas the night before CLIA's National Cruise Vacation Month and Agencies and Agents across North America were all astir with excitement! October 1st kicks off what is sure to be one of the most successful selling months in the history of this month-long celebration. As of today 5,000 CLIA Agencies/Agents have registered to participate in traditional and/or virtual selling events. Last year with only one dedicated night and virtual events promoted throughout the entire month of October, we had reported 41,000 bookings*, $47 Million in cruise sales* and $6 Million in travel agency commissions*; this year WLCN has expanded to a full week so you can select the day/night that works best for you and still sell virtually all month long!
