An Event Focused on the Travel Professional and Their Success!

Written By: Emmy Morales, Director of Sales, Events – Northstar Travel Group

Travel Weekly’s CruiseWorld is taking place live this fall in Miami. One of CruiseWorld’s main missions is to help the travel advisor community find the right supplier partners for their business. Bringing together suppliers representing air, attractions, cruise, destinations, host agencies, hotels and resorts, professional services, tour operators, and travel insurance, CruiseWorld is a one stop shop for advisors to rebuild their travel toolboxes.

This year’s event will be held November 10-12 at the Miami Beach Convention Center. It will include the signature one-day Exhibitor Showcase on Thursday, November 11, plus educational supplier workshops offered on Wednesday and Thursday, November 10 and 11.

Suppliers are eager to get in front of the advisor audience to update them on product offerings, explain current protocols, provide updates on advisor training programs and marketing opportunities and to give their sincere thanks for servicing their mutual clients through rebookings and cancellations.

On Wednesday and Thursday advisors will have the opportunity to choose which suppliers they would like to learn from during multiple series of 30- and 60-minute workshops. Presenting companies include Alaska – Visit Anchorage, Carnival Cruise Line, Greater Miami CVB, Hawaii Convention and Visitors Bureau, Israel Ministry of Tourism, Singapore Tourism Board, VAX VacationAccess, Virgin Voyages and Windstar Cruises.

With three and a half hours dedicated to Thursday’s Exhibitor Showcase, advisors will be able to shop for their businesses in every industry category. Building relationships face-to-face is key to a lasting supplier/advisor partnership, and there’s no better place to do it than on the tradeshow floor.
