Asia has rapidly become one of the top international cruise regions for Australasian travellers, and Hong Kong will highlight its offering as the headline sponsor for the upcoming Cruise Lines International Association Cruise 360 event in Sydney.
CLIA executive director Australasia Joel Katz says the cruise body is ‘delighted’ to welcome HKTB as the headline partner for the event. “… we look forward to introducing more CLIA travel advisors to opportunities that Hong Kong presents for their cruise clients,” he adds.
HKTB has just launched it Only in Hong Kong global tourism campaign, and its director for Australia, New Zealand & South Pacific, Karen Hong Kong Cruise Offerings on Show Macmillan says both moves reflect the HKTB’s commitment to working closely with the travel trade to convert growing interest into visitation. “The continued growth in visitor arrivals from Australia and New Zealand, up 20% and 13% respectively in the first half of 2026, reflects the strong appetite for travel to Hong Kong,” she adds. “We look forward to showcasing how Hong Kong can add value to every cruise journey, whether as a port of call, pre-cruise stay or post-cruise destination.”
The Future Ready. Client Ready. Cruise Ready themed Cruise360 is on in Sydney 17-18 Sep. Limited tickets are still available to CLIA members. See HERE.
