New Mail on Sunday travel editor Sarah Hartley, APT chief commercial officer Debra Fox and Scenic UK managing director Colin Downing are keynote speakers at next month’s Clia river cruise conference.
The eighth annual event is taking place in Paris on November 10–11.
The keynote speakers will be discussing topics including growth in the sector, new ships, itineraries and destinations and attracting new-to river cruise customers.
The River Cruise Excellence Awards will also take place during the conference, created to recognise those who contribute to the growing river cruise sector.
Clia UK and Ireland director Andy Harmer said: “We are thrilled to announce our fantastic keynote speakers and look forward to hearing them share their wealth of knowledge and experience within the sector at the river cruise conference.
“The conference showcases the amazing experiences that a river cruise offers and is a fantastic way for agents to learn more about this type of holiday by hearing from experts, visiting several river ships and meeting those who work in the sector.”
