Tourism Trinidad will participate in the upcoming Florida-Caribbean Cruise Association Conference (FCCA) in Mazatlán, Mexico to gain valuable insights which can further enhance this country’s tourism product.
The event is expected to take place from November 7 to 10, 2023.
This conference is also a unique opportunity for the company to connect with cruise industry leaders and cruise line executives.
The FCCA conference is renowned for offering valuable insights into the cruise industry and its inner workings and it is a hub for cruise tourism professionals to enhance their knowledge, foster connections, and promote their products and services.
With approximately 100 executives from FCCA member lines attending, this event provides a golden opportunity to engage with decision-makers who determine cruise ship itineraries, on-board offerings, and destination investments, a statement from Tourism Trinidad said.
It added that attendees are also organisations interested in doing business with the cruise industry, including ports and destinations, cruise and tourism agencies, tour operators, attractions, suppliers and ship agents.
Tourism Trinidad further reiterated that conferences like these are both important and lucrative.
“Following our attendance in 2022, Trinidad and Tobago was able to register a 51 per cent increase in cruise passenger arrivals, which promises to make the 2023-2024 cruise ship season a successful one.
“The season has already kicked off with the arrival of the Seabourn Pursuit on October 11 and the soon to arrive Ruby Princess on November 14. This is just the beginning of a season that will see five new cruise lines grace our shores,” Tourism Trinidad stated.
The organisation also noted that when cruise tourists grace this country’s shores, they will also experience the enchanting attractions and opportunities that T&T has to offer.
As a member of the FCCA, Tourism Trinidad added that it is committed to promoting Trinidad as a must-visit cruise destination in the Caribbean region.
