Carnival Cruise Line rejoins Tipto
Carnival Cruise Line is to become the newest supplier member of Tipto by rejoining the group.
Carnival was a previous member of Tipto for five years until 2019 where both Vice President International Sales Iain Baillie and Luke Smith (Head of International Sales) spent time on the organisation’s leadership team.
This year the cruise line celebrates its 50th Anniversary and is set to restart cruising in the US next month.
Carnival has been supporting UK travel agents with their ‘Travel Agents Rock’ campaign and their ‘Loyalty Rocks Club’ rewards programme, both of which will be a continued focus at Tipto events.
Their ‘Fun Ambassadors’ programme will also continue, which previously rewarded agents with double reward points and an all-expenses paid trip to Ibiza.
"We are delighted to be rejoining Tipto as we move out of an extremely challenging year for our travel agent partners. This will be an excellent way for us to engage with large numbers of travel agents," said Luke Smith, Carnival’s Head of International Sales.
Tipto chairman Nick Hughes said: "We’re welcoming Carnival back into the Tipto family with huge excitement. Having been being members previously, I’m pleased to see the Carnival team return and value the training and awareness that the Tipto brings to its members."
Established in 1999, Tipto supports UK travel agents with online training, marketing support, offers, incentives, competitions and up to 35 ‘Face 2 Face’ events every year.
