For those interested in applying, visit www.cruiseworldshow.com/star/ for specific participation requirements. Spots are filling quickly.
The core component of the STAR Program is a series of collaborative meetings scheduled between exhibiting supplier partners and prequalified, vetted travel advisers committed to business growth.
Advisers who qualify for the STAR Program and who are selected to participate will receive complimentary registration and complimentary hotel accommodation for two nights.
CruiseWorld will include three days of jam-packed general sessions plus breakout sessions covering every segment of the leisure travel space. A full day of peer-led workshops is also included in the programming.
Categories for supplier participation at this year's event include airlines, attractions, business tools, cruises, destinations, hotels and resorts, professional services, tour/vacation packages and a variety of destinations.
The one-day Exhibitor Showcase will be held on Thursday, Nov. 16. Suppliers interested in joining the Exhibitor Showcase should contact Emmy Morales at [email protected]. A list of current exhibitors can be found at www.cruiseworldshow.com/exhibitor-list.
