CLIA appoints new global chairman
CLIA has appointed Carnival’s CEO Arnold Donald as global chairman from January.
He will replace Adam Goldstein, president and COO of Royal Caribbean Cruises, who has served for two years and is to take over as chair of the Florida-Caribbean Cruise Association.
"We are proud to welcome Arnold as our new chair. Under his leadership, we will continue to support the interests and vision for the cruise industry," said CLIA president and Cindy D’Aoust.
"The cruise industry continues to grow and evolve at a record pace, making CLIA’s role more important than ever to act as a singular voice and advocate on behalf of the entire global cruise community. I’m honored to take on this role, and look forward to building on the great work CLIA is doing," Donald said.
