Carnival Cruise Lines, the world’s most popular cruise line, and TPOC, a four- year old association, have agreed on a national accounts sales agreement for 2007, making Carnival Cruise Lines the preferred cruise supplier for the TPOC Association member agencies. TPOC promotes education, training and networking opportunities for minority travel professionals. TPOC member travel agents have selected Carnival Cruise Lines as their first choice for both individual and group cruise business.
Members of TPOC feel that partnering with carnival is a great fit since a large per cent of TPOC agents specialize in selling cruises and group travel. Members also feel that Carnival offers a great value for their product and provides more choices of on board activities for their group clients, making it easier for member agents to increase sales.
“TPOC is very excited to have Carnival as their preferred cruise supplier and is looking forward to a productive partnership” said Charlotte Haymore, President of TPOC.. Haymore added that the association is looking forward to Carnival Cruise Lines participating in the 5th annual TPOC conference and trade show which will take place in Ft.
