Cruise Lines International Association
Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA) is an association of cruise lines. 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, relocated to Fort Lauderdale, Florida in January 2007 while maintaining a satellite office in Washington, D.C.
Federal Lobbying
Budd Darr, the organization's Senior Vice President of Technical and Regulatory Affairs, told CNN[1] that CLIA spent almost $10 million lobbying in Washington D.C. from 2004 to 2011. Lobbying efforts have focused on issues like vessel sanitation and passenger safety.[2]
