The Florida-Caribbean Cruise Association’s mandate is to foster a better understanding of the cruise industry and to develop cooperative relationships with their destination partners at both the public and private sector levels in order to create a win-win situation for all parties involved.
If you are doing business with the cruise industry, or would like to be doing business with them, you musn't miss this event - the 14th annual FCCA Caribbean Cruise Conference & Trade Show taking place in Cozumel, Mexico from October 8-12, 2007.
