CLIA Exec Partner Prog

- with Joel Katz MD, CLIA Australasi­a

CLIA recently announced that Tourism Australia has joined its Executive Partner program as a Diamond partner.

Tourism Australia joins 66 additional new Executive Partner members this year, who have seen the value of a strategic partnershi­p with the cruise industry.

During the recent SEATRADE event in Fort Lauderdale in March, CLIA hosted more than 400 industry suppliers and cruise line executives during its annual Diamond Dinner, Business on the Beach and CLIA Connect events.

The global program, which launched in 2015, now boasts more than 300 industry suppliers worldwide, and is forecasted to welcome 100 new members in 2017.

The goal of the program is to create a dynamic and exclusive platform for our members to connect and we are continuing to create new events & opportunit­ies to strengthen these links.

The cruise industry is undergoing unpreceden­ted growth, and therefore provides extraordin­ary opportunit­ies for its suppliers and service providers.

The Executive Partner program brings these partners together with our cruise line members to address issues and discuss innovative ideas to promote the continued developmen­t of the industry.
