Louis Cruises is expanding its travel trade sales and marketing initiatives in the Canadian market with the appointment of Klint + Associates (KAI) as its new representation firm responsible for building exposure and driving sales for Louis Cruises in Canada.
“We are very pleased to work with KAI to leverage their strong sales presence and best practices to drive awareness and sales of our distinctive Eastern Mediterranean Cruise product in the Canadian market – now with even more destinations across the Aegean,” said Nicholas Filippidis, director of product development in North America for Louis Cruises.“Having launched an exclusive new cruise product in 2013 reflective of our company’s Hellenic roots, Louis Cruises is nearly doubling the number of ports it calls at for 2014. KAI will be instrumental in driving awareness of our unique product range throughout Canada.”
“At KAI, we are delighted to coordinate the sales efforts in this market for award-winning cruise line, Louis Cruises, who has received high acclaim from world-class organizations including Conde Nast Traveler and Lloyd’s List,” said Annika Klint, managing director of KAI. “Louis Cruises continues to enhance its offerings, presenting not only the world-renown, popular destinations of Athens, Mykonos, Patmos, Rhodes, Heraklion (Crete), Santorini, Istanbul and Kusadasi, but also lesser-known gems. The introduction of nine new destinations, including Samos, Milos, Syros, Kos, Ios, Symi, Chios, Cesme and Bodrum, encourages a more in-depth experience that showcases their Aegean expertise. KAI is eager to help the cruise line continue on its growth path with strategic initiatives to educate the Canadian trade of the benefits of selling Louis Cruises and increasing bookings from Canada.”
