ECRUISING founder and
ceo Brett Dudley has always
said how fortunate he is to be
working in the cruise sector – and
his run of luck continued at an
event earlier this week.
The government of the “great
state of Nevada” in the USA
is running its first ever trade
mission to Australia, hosted
by none other than Governor
Brian Sandoval, who welcomed
several hundred travel people to
a cocktail function at Sydney’s
Museum of Contemporary Art.
On arrival guests were invited
to drop their business cards in
a bowl for the obligatory door
prize, and later in the evening
Sandoval picked the winners,
with Dudley taking home the
major prize.
Dudley will be heading to Nevada to
take part in the Governor’s
Global Tourism Summit taking
place at the Grand Sierra Resort
in Reno 11-12 Oct this year –
flying courtesy of United Airlines
and also having a choice of prefams
prior to the conference.
A number of guests noted the
irony that Nevada, being a landlocked
state “doesn’t actually
have a lot of cruising”.
