Clia to launch online learning resources

Clia UK & Ireland has announced it is launching a new online learning resource next month.

Taking place throughout July and August, the Clia Summer School will see Clia cruise lines and partners join weekly live webinars to share industry updates.

Starting July 9, the Clia Summer School will run from 9-10am every Thursday until the end of August.

The ‘product’ sessions, taking place every Thursday, will see Clia’s UK & Ireland director Andy Harmer joined by four representatives from different cruise lines, spanning the ocean, river, luxury, and expedition sectors.

Joining the first webinar on July 9 will be:

• MSC Cruises
• Uniworld Boutique River Cruises
• Ponant
• Azamara

Additional sessions during July and August will take place on a Wednesday, where agents will hear from Clia partners as they share tips, advice and others insights.

The first of these sessions – Sales and Positivity with Debbee Dale – will take place July 8 from 9-10am.

Harmer said: “The brand new Clia Summer School is a weekly opportunity for CLIA travel agents to join interactive webinars, where they will hear directly from cruise line representatives and CLIA partners. During the live webinars, agents will be able to ask questions and learn about the latest industry updates, helping to answer queries their customers may have.”

Travel agent members will be able to register for the Clia Summer School from July 1 on cruising.org.
