Interview a CEO of a Thriving Internet Business
DETROIT (September 12, 2018) -Cruise Compete celebrates a milestone anniversary this month, September, 2018.
Fifteen, (15) years as a highly acclaimed travel website.
In a world that sees consumer-oriented websites come and go with regularity, we asked CruiseCompete CEO Bob Levinstein about the keys to the site's longevity. He offered 5 substantial reasons this website is flourishing.
"It starts with understanding the needs of cruise shoppers and travel agents, " said Levinstein. "When you're buying a cruise, you want to get the best deal you can without spending a lot of time." CruiseCompete's web site makes it easy for a customer to find the best cruises for the vacation they want and compare cruise offers quickly.
"Time is also very important to travel agents," says Levinstein. "Giving agents the ability to select requests for the cruises they have specific expertise and great deals on those specific voyages, and providing them with all of the information they need to quote really enhances their sales."
Levinstein continued. "From there, it's largely been about excellent cruise specialists with a keen understanding of the cruise marketplace. Great travel agents who really understand the business flourish under our model and tend to stay with us for years. Frequent cruisers who understand the benefits that CruiseCompete offers and aren't shy about telling their friends."
"Website Innovation & User Experience has evolved from our users, both consumers and cruise travel specialists. "Listening to feedback from agents and cruisers alike has led us to make countless changes to our site, large and small. Most recently, we've added an automated Virtual Travel Advisor that helps guide new users through the process of choosing a cruise by answering five easy questions. We've also added a Flight Search capability that shows specific flight options for any selected cruise with just a few extra clicks."
