Think Strawberries announces partnership with American Cruise Lines as Exclusive Reseller
Think Strawberries, India’s market leading travel representation company, has entered a new business vertical as it has partnered with American Cruise Lines (ACL), as their exclusive ticket re-seller in India. This makes Think Strawberries the only company in India with rights to sell ACL tickets throughout the country.
“With this partnership we are confident of unlocking the full potential of the India growth story. With the Indian outbound at a record high, we are confident of strong numbers coming in from the region,” commented Susan Shultz, Director of Sales, ACL.
Talking about the new account, Amit Kishore, Co-founder, Think Strawberries said, “As outbound tourism from India is increasing at a fast pace, cruise tourism is getting a new boost. Cruise tourism has been the fastest growing sector of the travel industry.”
As International cruise liners are expressing interest in setting up shop in India as the market potential is showing a positive upward swing, this is a step in the right direction for Think Strawberries. India currently ranks as the 6th largest among Asian source markets of 2.1 mn cruise passengers. ASEAN is preparing the region for a projected 10-fold increase in cruise passengers to 4.5 mn by 2035 through infrastructure development, improved onshore activities, and training of staff.
