This year, 8-10% more travel agencies began to work with the Infoflot Cruise Center than in 2018. Most of the growth was due to new agents not previously engaged in cruises. This was announced by Andrey Mikhailovsky, General Director of the Infoflot Cruise Center, during the awards ceremony for the sales leaders based on the results of navigation in 2019.
In total, 40 representatives of travel companies selling cruises through Infoflot took part in the festive ceremony, which took place at the end of October on the ship Lunnaya Sonata (of the Sozvezdie cruise company).
In total, more than 120 travel agencies were among the strongest in Russia, and 50 of them were in the Moscow region. Also, this year Infoflot holds award ceremonies in Samara, Rostov-on-Don, St. Petersburg, Nizhny Novgorod.
In gratitude for the fruitful cooperation, the heads of the company - General Director Andrey Mikhailovsky and Deputy General Director Roman Kashkin - presented the best agents with commemorative statuettes, diplomas and certificates for cruises (for the first three places).
As a result, the best results in 2019 were shown by the company Tvoy Cruise LLC - 1st place, the second place was taken by Touroperator Rus LLC and the third line of the podium was taken by Rechflot LLC.
“It is gratifying that the ranks of agencies selling cruises are being replenished, among other things, by newcomers who have not previously dealt with this promising direction.
