CLIA Conference postponed
CLIA UK & Ireland has announced the CLIA Conference 2020 has been postponed.
It was due to take place in Southampton from 26 – 28 April.
Andy Harmer, CLIA UK & Ireland director, said: "We take our responsibility for the health and safety of our delegates, as well as the crew and passengers onboard the ships we visit, very seriously. With that in mind, it is with a heavy heart that we must postpone this year’s conference until further notice.
"The team at CLIA deeply regret these circumstances however, as always, our number one priority is health and safety. We would like to thank our agent members, cruise lines and sponsors who supported this year’s conference. We look forward to seeing you all at future CLIA events."
It comes after Princess Cruises and Viking Cruises (not CLIA members) announced a suspension of all sailings.
The US has also issued advice telling US citizens to avoid cruises, particularly if they have underlying health problems.
