River cruise line and hotel group join TIPTO
CroisiEurope Cruises and the The Palladium Hotel Group have both become supplier members of TIPTO.
TIPTO said it will ensure CroisiEurope’s ‘affordable concept’ is understood by the UK trade, allowing them to better sell the group’s river cruises.
Family-run CroisiEurope has 56 vessels that sail on a number of European rivers and in exotic destinations such as the Mekong River in Vietnam,~ Lake Kariba in Southern Africa and its newest acquisition, the all-suite, 124 passenger ocean ship La Belle Des Oceans, which will be based in Canada this summer.
Founded in the late 1960s, The Palladium Hotel Group has properties in Spain, Italy, Brazil, the Dominican Republic, Jamaica and Mexico under several brands.
Joanne Peters, senior business development manager UK & Ireland, said: "Palladium Hotel Group is entering a five-year phase of development with new projects that we want to convey to the UK trade. TIPTO events, its online training and its social media access will allow us to pass this information onto agents and support them in selling our worldwide product."
