More rewards in the Caribbean SPOTLIGHT ON...
THE CARIBBEAN Travel Guru training programme with Travel Uni is now in partnership with
mybookingrewards.com, meaning agents can earn rewards each time they report a booking in the Caribbean. In fact, agents can earn multiple rewards through one booking, getting points with both the hotels and the destination. For example, if an agent books a holiday to Jewel Resorts they will receive rewards from Jewel Hotels, the Jamaica Tourist Board and Caribbean Travel Guru Rewards itself. New members of the loyalty scheme are Cobblers Cove of Barbados and the Grenada Tourism Board.

Meet the fl eet CLIA UK has launched a
new search facility which allows agents to search more than 260 ocean cruise ships for information on everything from capacity to dining venues. Initially exclusively available to
CLIA agent members, ‘Meet the Fleet’ can tell agents everything from which ships have speciality restaurants and theatres through
to which have babysitting facilities or have cabins that
can sleep three or more. The search programme allows agents to fi lter the responses by company, ship, size of vessel and passenger capacity. Andy Harmer, director of CLIA
UK & Ireland, commented: “Meet the Fleet is an invaluable tool in helping agents answer specifi c queries raised by customers. We know the importance of
knowledge when successfully selling cruise holidays and this digital factfi le brings an enormous amount of information together in one place, and is designed to help agents fi nd the right cruise for the right customer." Meet the Fleet also has deck plans, images and videos covering everything from cabins to food and drink, helping agents showcase cruising to their clients.
