WorldCruise.cn, an online travel platform aiming specifically at selling global cruise products to the Chinese market, has been founded. Alan Lam reports.
The website is currently undergoing trial and will be officially launched during the second quarter of 2015. It will become the first and the only platform of its kind in China, serving Chinese travel agents.
Once up and running, the travel agents will be issued usernames to enable them to log on to the website and search for global cruise products and reserve excursions on behalf of their customers according to live prices quoted and availabilities.
The agents will also be able to use the website to create their own cruise packages and offer them to their clients. This service is the first of its kind in the country, a brainchild of a group of international entrepreneurs, among them Dwain Wall whose departure from CLIA was recently announced.
The cruise charter market is vibrant in China. This website is also designed to allowtravel agents to charter cruise ships, either intheir entirety or in parts, for groups or other agents.
In return WorldCruise.cn will offerits clientsonline cruise sales training, helping them develop business strategies, which is badly needed among the three million travel agents in China.
All the main features of this platform can already be found on www.WorldCruise.cn
