Expedia CruiseShipCenters reports 2012 bookings show 8 percent growth over the previous year and this year - CSC's 25th anniversary - also marks the opening of 21 new franchise locations and addition of 1,100 plus new vacation consultants to its ranks.
Matthew Eichhorst, president of Expedia CruiseShipCenters, said, “This growth is also a reflection of the fact that we continue to invest heavily in sales training, marketing and technology to help our agents grow their business”.
"Our outstanding results show that customers are increasingly aware of the extra value a knowledgeable travel agent provides. Expedia CruiseShipCenters Vacation Consultants can leverage the competitive advantage… of the brand," said Pat Heathfield, Expedia CSC's Sales Manager.
With 25 new cruise ships set to debut by 2015, there has never been a better time for agents to leverage success and grow their travel business, Heathfield said. He urged agents to attend Expedia CruiseShipCenters webinars to learn more about CSC's program.
