Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA) Australasia’s Head of International Training & Development, Peter Kollar, has received a prestigious global accolade in the 2020 Seatrade Cruise Awards. Announced overnight in an online ceremony as part of Seatrade Cruise Virtual, Sydney-based Mr Kollar was given the Talent Development of the Year award in recognition of his efforts in creating extensive training and education programs for CLIA’s travel agent members.

CLIA Managing Director Australasia Joel Katz congratulated Mr Kollar and said the award provided a welcome endorsement for the extensive new training initiatives he and his team had unveiled in Australasia in the past year.

“Education and training have never been more important in our industry and the innovations Peter has helped pioneer in recent times – such as the newly reimagined CLIA Members Hub – are giving travel agents vital knowledge that will help equip them for recovery in the future,” Mr Katz said. “Peter has dedicated many decades of his life to cruising – both at sea and on land – and this award helps recognise the passion and commitment he has shown towards our travel agent community.”
