ILTM has announced that some of the world’s most elusive and hottest new experiences will be profiled alongside luxury travel’s timeless classics at its 2010 event in December.
The range of prestigious travel brands at ILTM are all hand-picked for the exclusive benefit of the world’s most influential buyers of international luxury travel at ILTM. These discerning travel buyers and specialists are also subject to a rigorous vetting process to ensure an exclusive private club environment conducive for business.
Revealed for the first time at ILTM 2010 will be Le Royal Mansour Resort in Marrakech, consisting of 53 beautifully-appointed individual riads (traditional Moroccan dwellings) with interior gardens. The range of new properties showing for the first time at ILTM includes Croatia’s first luxury hotel, The Monte Mulini Hotel, The Ràcz Hotel & Thermal Spa in Budapest and the new Indigo Pearl Spa, Phuket, both of which are opening in November.
ILTM is recognised for its breadth of luxury travel experiences and new discoveries. Within the adventure theme for example, Yak & Yeti introduces its clientele to heliskiing, trekking, luxury yachting and more.
Colin Housley, European account manager for The Andrew Harper Alliance said: 'For me, ILTM is the foremost industry event of the year, it offers me the privilege of meeting with representatives from the broadest possible range of hotels. Having this opportunity provides me with a current and comprehensive understanding of each property’s needs and goals going forward, from which we can ultimately build stronger and more profitable partnerships together.'
A tailor-made diary of pre-scheduled appointments and a renowned networking programme are the secrets of ILTM’s ongoing success. The event ensures buyers can achieve what might take months of travel and research in just four days of tailored networking at this exclusive event. Hosted buyers have specific opportunities to meet with the latest luxury product suppliers encompassing private villas, luxury hotels, gastronomy, spa and wellbeing, destination management companies, cultural and unique attractions and soft and extreme adventure.
ILTM is continually innovating its offering, to ensure the exclusive ‘private club’ atmosphere that is so integral to the event. Following its successful launch last year, the ILTM Ultratravel Forum – where the leading movers and shakers within international luxury travel debate the key current issues and explore future trends for the industry - will again take place. ILTM also continues to work with the world’s top media as individual exclusive partners for the event.
