Cruise councils to speak with one voice
The International Cruise Council Australasia has joined with eight other cruise industry associations to form a common organisation which will serve as the voice and advocacy leader of the global cruise industry.
Under the change, ICCA will become known as Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA) Australasia.
Other associations in the new body are North America’s Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA), European Cruise Council (ECC), Asia Cruise Association (ACA), the UK’s Passenger Shipping Association (PSA/ACE), France’s AFCC, Brazil’s ABREMAR, Northwest and Canada Cruise Association (NWCCA) and Alaska Cruise Association (ACA).
The new association has been created to provide increased benefits and a globally unified voice for cruise lines, travel agents and business partners
Existing association offices will remain in place and ICCA general manager Brett Jardine will continue to report to the Australasian board as well as to the new global CEO, Christine Duffy.
