Cruise agents relocate meeting after member feedback
The Leading Cruise Agents of the UK has decided to hold its next meeting outside of London and the south.
Following feedback from members, it wanted to make its meetings more accessible to those based further north.
On November 4, and for the first time in many years, it will be meeting in Birmingham, at the Holiday Inn Birmingham City.
“Its important to us that as many members as possible attend our meetings and we it became apparent that there was a need for us to make them more accessible to those further north,” said chairperson Clare Dudley.
In addition, associate and affiliate members are now invited to attend the morning sessions to allow more open communication amongst all the organisations involved.
Previously this was a closed session for travel agent members only.
Any LCA member wanting to attend the meeting should contact LCA Secretariat Matt Bates at [email protected] or call 01292 316820.
