Cruise Lines International Association

Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA) is a cruise line trade association. It merged with International Council of Cruise Lines (ICCL) in 2006, forming an expanded organization incorporating the existing functions of both organizations. The merged organization, which uses the CLIA name, is located in Washington, D.C..[1]

Established in 1975, Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA) is the world's largest cruise industry trade association.

CLIA works with the Global Sustainable Tourism Council (GSTC) to help port cities analyze how to manage tourism flows and map out a road map for a sustainable future. To date, the industry has partnered with the City of Dubrovnik,[2] Corfu and Heraklion to collaborate and identify best practices for long-term destination management to the benefit of residents and visitors alike.[3]

Their refusal to cooperate with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention contributed to the spread of COVID-19 and the resulting pandemic.[4]
