Travel Weekly's CruiseWorld registration is now open. The event, slated for Nov. 15 to 17 in Fort Lauderdale, will include general sessions featuring industry leadership, supplier training programs, peer training and a diversified Exhibitor Showcase.
A key component of the event is ship inspections. Currently, nine ships are confirmed for inspections taking place after the event on Nov. 18 and 19. Opportunities are limited for inspections occurring in both Miami and Fort Lauderdale, and are filled on a first-come, first-served basis.
Interested travel advisers are encouraged to complete registration early to take advantage of the reduced rate of $125 and to secure participation in desired ship inspections.
For those interested in applying for the successful STAR (Select Travel Adviser Recognition) Program, which is structured to provide enhanced event programming while offsetting some of the financial expenses incurred by travel advisers to attend professional development events, spots are filling quickly.
The core component of the STAR Program is a series of collaborative scheduled meetings between exhibiting suppliers 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. Specific participation requirements are detailed on the CruiseWorld website.
Year over year, CruiseWorld proves to be a valuable investment for participating travel advisers. "CruiseWorld is a must-attend event," said Rhonda Skeete-McGowan of Live Again and Travel. "There's so much to learn and so many like-minded people to meet. I always make sure it's on my calendar; that's how valuable it is. Your business is guaranteed to grow after you attend."
