WOW! Our consultants just got back from the CLIA Cruise360 conference in Fort Lauderdale, Florida (Sept. 28-Oct. 4). What an incredible event!
Imagine...1500 travel consultants all in one location! This was a great way for Travel Traditions.com to kick off "National Cruise Month 2005." So much information and so many wonderful people to draw experience and knowledge!
The travel industry requires continuing education on an annual basis for consultants. Cruise360 offered our consultants the ability to participate in ship inspections, classroom courses and computer training necessary to obtain our "Accredited Cruise Counselor" certification. This celebrated status, means Travel Traditions.com consultants are amoung the best trained in the travel industry.
Travel Traditions.com tips our hats to CLIA for an incredible event!!
