Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA) is calling on travel industry supporters to join its Ready, Set, Sail campaign, launched yesterday. The initiative will target travel agents, industry stakeholders and other members of Australia’s extensive cruise community, urging them to raise their voice and place new pressure on state and federal parliamentarians.
CLIA and its cruise line members are calling for governments to agree upon a detailed framework for cruising’s resumption, backed by the industry’s extensive new global health protocols that include 100% testing of all passengers and crew before boarding, and stringent measures covering crew quarantine, distancing, sanitation, health monitoring and response procedures.
The cruise industry is pushing for the implementation of these measures as part of a phased resumption that begins with domestic cruising for Australians only, within an Australian bubble.
To drive the campaign, CLIA has created a new online action centre, allowing supporters to message politicians quickly and easily. With a few clicks, users can generate instant emails to local MPs and key Ministers or personalise a message to tell of their own story and circumstances.
