Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA) is launching two new social media accounts to enable users to interact in real time. CLIA CEO Christine Duffy will keep in touch with members via a Twitter feed and CEO blog.

“With such a dynamic, changing industry, CLIA is committed to keeping our members and vacationers informed on every platform possible.  I look forward to these new ways to share my thoughts on the industry and the latest news, and engaging with consumers, CLIA members, and news media,” Duffy said.

Duffy’s Twitter, www.twitter.com/cliaceo, will allow her to interact in real time with members, consumers, and news media.

Duffy’s blog, www.cruising.org/ceoblog, will allow her, and guest bloggers from various facets of the cruise industry, to share their perspectives on the latest industry news, issues and trends, and will allow moderated comments to engage a wider community in discussion on these issues.
