The American
Society of Travel Advisors (ASTA) is charting a course for Vienna, Austria next
year, as it prepares to host the fourth annual ASTA River Cruise Expo from
March 12-15, 2025.
The event will provide
an incredible opportunity for travel advisors to tour more than a dozen river
cruise ships along the Danube River, connect with several river cruise line
executives and network with peers, all while enjoying the vessels’ onboard accommodation
and dining concepts.
With the ever-increasing
interest in and popularity of this event since its inception in 2022,
organizers are anticipating a swift sell-out, which highlights its role as a
pivotal platform for growth and learning within the sector.
"We are
deeply grateful and privileged to witness the overwhelming success of our
event,” Zane Kerby, President and CEO of the American Society of Travel
Advisors, said in a statement. “The idea for this event came from the visionary
mind of the late Bob Duglin, who served on ASTA’s executive staff for over 8
years. Bob would undoubtedly take pride in witnessing the Expo's transformative
impact as a catalyst for business
growth and educational enrichment within the travel industry.
Kerby added, “Travel
advisors who are here with us receive years' worth of knowledge in just four
days, returning home better equipped to advise their clients and tap into the
enormous potential of river cruising.”
