Significant progress was made throughought the year to improve confidence in cruise and the reputation of the industry as we increased reach, engagement and a positive sentiment across our channels and in media coverage. As a result, not only is intent to cruise higher than prior to the pandemic, the reputation of the industry has also vastly improved.
"CLIA's broad reach across all sectors of government, consistently advocating for the cruise industry, is tremendously valuable to us. They engaged SMS International Shore Operations during thhe pandemic to share our story with policymakers, allowing us to develop a relationship with key decision-makers. Their one-voice, one-industry approach to protect the license to sail is really second to none."

CLIA Executive Partner Membership is subject to the terms and conditions of the CLIA Executive Partner Program available on https://cruising.org/about-the-industry/about-the-executive-partner-program
Fully paid CLIA Executive Partners in the Australasia region are provided access to the CLIA Learning Academy as a benefit. CLIA Learning Academy access is extended to employees of that Executive Partner company only, provided there is a direct “employer/employee” relationship.
For the avoidance of doubt, the benefits of the Executive Partner Membership may not be transferred, extended, made available or offered by an Executive Partner to any other party whether described as an affiliate, partner, contractor, consultant or in any other way. In the case where an individual is “contracted” by an Executive Partner, and/or is “self-employed” and/or works from an alternate business address, the individual is not entitled to access the Learning Academy under the Executive Partner membership and must then apply and pay for a separate individual or agency membership.
CLIA Australasia reserves the right to remove the Learning Academy access from any user on the Executive Partner’s profile who does not meet the direct “employer/employee” relationship requirement.
CLIA Executive Partners may display the official CLIA Executive Partner logo applicable to their Executive Partner community on promotional pieces related to the development of the business of the Member and are encouraged to do so. Of course, such promotional pieces should conform to truth and good taste and must not be misleading. You are responsible for the accuracy of your promotional pieces and for compliance with applicable governmental requirements. The CLIA logo, trademarks, intellectual property and marketing, promotional or educational materials and information created or developed by CLIA, CLIA Australasia and its affiliates may be used only in connection with the marketing and promotion of the Executive Partner’s brand and for no other purpose, including marketing or promotion of any affiliated products or services, and is always subject to the terms and conditions of the Executive Partner program. Use of the CLIA logos or trademarks is subject to the Executive Partner being a current fully paid CLIA Executive Partner. Use of any of the CLIA logos or other CLIA materials is not permitted by any company which does not hold a current paid up CLIA Australasia Executive Partner, Travel Agent or Travel Agency Membership.
CLIA reserves the right to terminate access to any Executive Partner Benefits should an Executive Partner not comply with the Terms and Conditions of CLIA Australasia membership or the Executive Partner Program.
CLIA Australasia may also terminate access to any Executive Partner benefits where a Executive Partner becomes insolvent or is subject to any form of insolvency event, including (without limitation) winding up, liquidation, external administration or bankruptcy, or where an application is made for any of the foregoing.
