World Travel Holdings has announced that 2014 was a banner year of growth and achievement for its home-based tandem, CruiseOne and Cruises Inc.
CruiseOne, a franchise opportunity, and Cruises Inc., an independent business opportunity, combined to experience tremendous highs in 2014, winning a handful of awards and reporting record sales growth numbers.
"2014 was a year of many positive changes at CruiseOne and Cruises Inc. and I am pleased with how our agent community and corporate headquarters team responded," said CruiseOne and Cruises Inc. senior vice president Debbie Fiorino.
"Our network is more engaged than ever and if 2014 is a sign of things to come, I know 2015 will be an even more impressive year."
The world's leading cruise agency's home-based division saw double-digit year-over-year sales growth in 2014, with land sales experiencing an increase of roughly 30 percent.
However, cruise business remained the foundation of the sales success.
A series of technological enhancements also helped propel the home-based agencies, including a group registration website, a booking validation tool and improved reporting.
Advancements in marketing and training also contributed to CruiseOne and Cruises Inc.'s impressive year.
CruiseOne and Cruises Inc. also experienced a milestone year in terms of recruitment, celebrating the opening of its 900th franchise location in the process.
"The cornerstone of our business is not about being the largest in size, but being an organization that prides itself on helping our owners and agents in building their dream businesses," said Fiorino.
