Nexion Travel Group hosts Cruise Sales Summit in Cocoa Beach, Florida

Nexion Travel Group recently held its inaugural Cruise Sales Summit earlier this month, giving travel advisors the tools, knowledge and connections they need to grow their businesses.

The event, which took place May 7-10 at the Hilton Cocoa Beach Oceanfront in Cocoa Beach, Florida, attracted nearly 50 Nexion travel advisors from the United States and Canada. Some were already booking cruises while others were looking to expand their expertise in this booming travel segment.

Participants attended education sessions on the business of selling cruises including strategies to enhance sales, marketing and the client experience; gained insights from top cruise supplier partners and Nexion experts; enjoyed exclusive ship inspections and hotel visits; and had a chance to network with travel advisor colleagues. There were special presentations from the Cruise Lines International Association and Florida’s Space Coast Office of Tourism.

“We designed our first Cruise Sales Summit to be the ultimate experience for travel advisors looking to increase their business,” said Jackie Friedman, President, Nexion Travel Group, a division of Internova Travel Group, one of the world’s largest travel services companies. “The summit is part of our commitment to give our travel advisors every advantage in the marketplace. The more information they have and connections they make, the better they can serve their clients and be successful.”

“Attending the Cruise Sales Summit was a great experience,” said Nexion-Canada member advisor Nandan Kalyanpur of Urban Vacations in Whitby, ON. “The sessions were insightful and the networking opportunities presented were truly invaluable. I left with some great practical strategies, new connections and a renewed sense of purpose that can be applied to grow personally and professionally in my travel career.”

“The Cruise Sales Summit provided personal one-on-one time with supplier partners who know you are with Nexion and can speak to benefits that are exclusively available through our host agency,” added member travel advisor Bruce Holto Heart of Oak Travel in Ottawa, ON. “I enjoyed it.”
