Sailing on the high waves of success of its small ship river cruising experiences – Avalon Waterways recently hosted a residential River Cruise symposium at a luxury resort near Mumbai.
An august group of 35 travel companies attended this three-day conference which had one of Avalon’s highly experienced and senior Cruise Director fly-in all the way from Budapest – Hungary as a primary speaker and educator. At this “special invite” conference, hand-picked leisure travel leaders got a unique opportunity to gain insider insights and deepen their understanding of what makes Avalon the leader in River Cruising and why it is also becoming the unrivalled choice for experienced cruisers looking for boutique luxury experiences on the legendary European rivers and even beyond.
“We are committed to working with the travel trade and completely invested in our mission to provide agents the most updated knowledge and trends on the River Cruising space. We believe Avalon waterways has influenced the river cruising space for the better and forever and with its emphasis on “Relaxed Luxury” and our truly one of a kind “Suites with a view” – we have set the bar really high. This conference was a perfect setting as not only a grand thank-you event for our supporters but also another step towards our hard-core training commitments towards the travel trade.
“The travel agents got over a year’s worth of education, in just a short period of time, through the meticulously planned educational sessions as well as their one-to-one interactions with our Cruise Director and the entire Avalon waterways team,” said Varesh Chopra, Managing Director, Avalon Waterways, South Asia and Middle East. “The first-hand product knowledge the agents received, will set them apart in this growing wave of interest in alternative cruising and they will surely reap all the benefits.”
