Enter Thuy (Twee) Carroll, CEO of the Tweet World Travel Group whose mission it is to lift the profile of the French based Croisi Europe among Australians and have the Croisi Europe name popularized in Australia.
The Tweet group recently organized successful Croisi Europe roadshows in Sydney, Melbourne, Perth and Auckland with a compelling and comprehensive presentation by NSW Sales rep, Karenne Norling spruiking the secrets of the company’s 190 cruises including Europe, Africa, Cambodia and Vietnam.
River cruising is a very competitive business with operators spending amazing amounts of money pushing their product through advertising and marketing. Croisi Europe relies mainly onword of mouth and travel agents in Australia.
