CLIA Australasia Chair, Peter Little joined CLIA Cruise Line execs, Dave Humphreys, Lisa Teiotu, and Adam Radwanski, as well as ACA’s Jill Abel, on a panel at the recent Travel24 event in Sydney, to discuss what’s ahead for cruising over the next 24 months.
In addition to highlighting the exciting opportunities ahead for cruising globally and in our region, Travel24 was also an opportunity to focus on some of the challenges facing our sector, and reinforce that cruise operations are often planned and booked several years in advance, and therefore it is critical that government work closely with industry to create an environment that delivers long-term regulatory certainty for cruising in this region.
In our region, the cruise industry is worth more than $5.6 billion a year to communities around the coast, and cruise ships made almost 1,400 port calls around Australia in 2022-23, creating an economic impact that supports more than 18,000 Australian jobs.
