A world of cruise in one rack SPOTLIGHT ON...
CLIA UK & IRELAND has launched a digital ‘Brochure Rack’ which gives agents access to more than 90 cruise lines' brochures as well as the ability to search across them all, comparing products and downloading/sharing with customers. Initially available exclusively

It is readable and downloadable on PCs and mobile and tablets and boasts a high download speed meaning a 196-page, full-colour brochure can be ready in fi ve seconds.

Running and rum! MARATHON season is coming
to a close in Europe but in the Caribbean it’s just gearing up, and some British agents are in the running, so to speak! Congratulations to Yvette Bailey from Thomson Holidays, Portsmouth and Emma McIntyre from Co-
Operative Personal Travel Advisors, Berkshire, who both won a place
to run in the 2014 Intertrust Cayman Islands Marathon
through a Travel Uni competition. Joining them in the race on
December 7 will be Lisa White from The Lotus Group, Andrew Hall from Kuoni, Travel Counsellor Julie Hyde and Kate Kandiah, from the Cayman Island Department of Tourism. They will enjoy a Grand Cayman fam too. The team of six are running a combination of half and full marathons and will raise money
for charities including the National Trust for the Cayman Islands which looks after tourism heritage and conservation sites including the Blue Iguana Recovery Programme. Yvette Bailey said: “I'm so excited! I love the Caribbean but have never visited Grand Cayman or run a half marathon. I'm a little nervous of running in the heat but I know it's going to be an amazing experience.”
