NEWCOMER to the Australian market, river cruise line Riviera Travel has doubled its Aussie sales figures for Aug and Sep this year, compared to the same period last year.
Riviera Travel’s sales manager for Australia, Shelley Davey, said a big push targeting Australia since mid-2016 had paid off.
“Australian travel agents, in particular, have warmed to our set commissions, no-direct-booking policy, no discounting strategy and broader distribution channel steered by wholesalers Cruiseco and Cruise Traveller, which allows Australians to book a Riviera Travel river cruise through any travel agent,” she said.
