Travel Weekly Cruise World 2011 & Home Based Agent Show
I recently attended Travel Weekly’s Cruise World 2011 and Home Based Agent Show. It was held November 2-6 at the Ft.Lauderdale Convention Center. The tradeshow is specifically developed for travel agents who want to expand their knowledge and grow their business. The week’s schedule was packed with seminars, panels, think tanks and training, networking and a fantastic trade show full of travel industry exhibitors, suppliers and vendors. The two-day trade included the following vendors. I feel it is important to list many of the big players, because I want clients, prospects and associates to understand how important I think it is to participate in events like this. I have access and travel partnerships with:
AMAWATERWAYS, AMResorts, Apple Vacations, ARIA Resorts & Casinos, Avalon Waterways, Azamara Club Cruises, Beaches Resorts, Bellagio, Breezes Resorts, Carnival Cruise Lines, Celebration Cruise Line, Celebrity Cruises, ChinaTour.com International Inc.
