Leading Cruise Agents introduces affiliate membership
The Leading Cruise Agents of the UK (LCA) has launched an affiliate membership programme.
Costing £450 a year, the programme gives commercial organisations, such as ports, destinations and accommodation suppliers, the chance to proactively promote their products and services to LCA members.
Superbreak, BAA Stansted, the Falkland Islands, Qantas Holidays and the Radisson SAS Hotel Stansted have already signed up and more are expected to join over the coming months.
Affiliate members will have access to more than 100 LCA agents who are the UK’s most focused and successful cruise specialists.
They can feature on e-broadcast emails to members ensuring news and offers are delivered directly to key agents, and get exclusive access to editorial and promotional space in the LCA’s magazine ‘Stowaway’, published for members to circulate to customers.
Members can also attend networking lunches three times a year and have one-to-one workshops with members twice a year.
