Pembroke Pines, FL (September 12, 2003) – This year’s FCCA Caribbean Cruise Conference and Trade Show will be held in St. Maarten, October 7-10, 2003. This once-a-year event, regarded as the industry’s premier gathering, will bring key players from all areas of the cruise industry together. This is the only place where you are provided the opportunity to meet with, and develop business and personal relationships with dozens of the cruise industry’s top decision-makers.
This year’s Conferencewill offer eight stimulating roundtable discussions (workshops) led by an impressive roster of industry experts. These workshops represent the spirit of mutual understanding, joint problem solving and collaboration to create a win-win situation for all.
Topics that will shape the roundtable discussions include:

3. Environmental Challenges… A Pro-Active Approach
4. Port Security
5. Children’s Programs
6. Family Marketing
7. Marketing Your Destination – Cruise Line Marketing of the Caribbean Today
8. Converting Cruise Passengers to Land-Based Vacationers
The FCCA Trade Show will again allow exhibitors to showcase their products, services or destination. Extended informal breakout sessions will enable Conference delegates to meet one-on-one with top cruise executives to discuss their concerns and learn first-hand:
-
What it is that they need to do in order to break into the cruise industry.
-
Further establish themselves in the industry.
-
How to increase their share of cruise business.
The most popular feature of the event, however, is the opportunity for networking. And there will be plenty of occasions to do just that throughout the Conference’s four-day run…from the Golf Tournament at Mullet Bay, to the Business Card Exchanges at the MAHO Beach Resort - Casino Royale, to the St. Maarten Night Extravaganza at their state-of-the-art Port. There is no better way to establish and foster valuable business/social relationships. All in all, there will be nearly two-dozen organized opportunities to network with other prominent industry players and cruise executives.
If you would like to make new contacts, foster your existing relationships, or increase your share of cruise business… and are prepared to work together to meet the challenges of tomorrow - join us in St. Maarten, October 7-10, 2003.
