Carnival Cruise Line is planning to reprise its popular “Why Use a Travel Advisor” program in a new virtual format this year with a virtual WUATA party scheduled for Thursday, April 29 at 5 p.m. EDT.

The dedicated consumer-facing campaign promoting the value of travel advisors underscores Carnival’s “continued commitment to the travel advisor community,” according to the cruise line.

The WUATA parties are designed to help advisors attract new clients and strengthen existing relationships, creating sales opportunities, and driving business along the way.

Travel advisors are encouraged to invite one current client and one “not yet a client” along for a fun and informative experience that will be hosted by Mike Pack, cruise director for the Carnival’s new ship, the Mardi Gras.

Travel advisors will also hear from Carnival’s Senior VP of Global Trade Sales and Marketing, Adolfo Perez, who will update advisors on the latest Carnival news and reinforce the line’s belief in the importance of using a travel advisor

A wide range of prizes, including gift cards, Carnival-branded merchandise, and a drawing for a free Carnival cruise, will be awarded throughout the one-hour event. Clients will also receive a special exclusive Carnival offer to use when booking their next cruise with their travel advisor.

“We’re delighted to resume our popular WUATA parties, which reinforces the value of using a travel advisor while creating a pipeline for new business,” says Perez. “Travel advisors are more important than ever and connecting more clients to our valued travel advisors is a critical win-win for our industry.”
