Mexico’s Riviera Maya to Host First ILTM Americas

The first ILTM Americas, to take place Oct. 1 to 3 in the resort of Mayakoba, Riviera Maya, Mexico, has revealed an “overwhelming interest” from North, Central and South American agents wishing to be considered for this inaugural event.

Luxury travel suppliers from all four corners of the world have also been swift to register interest with confirmed participants already including Bulgari Hotels, &Beyond, Luxury Lodges of Australia, Wilderness Safaris, Orient-Express and The Ritz-Carlton.

Following the successful ILTM format, ILTM Americas is a one-to-one summit focusing exclusively on the demand from the world’s largest outbound luxury travel market, North America, and the rapidly emerging Latin American market.

Only the best luxury travel agents from the region will be invited to meet with the accredited global suppliers in 15-minute appointments between buyers and suppliers who have each registered a wish to meet each other.

Launching with the full support of Mexico Tourism Board and Riviera Maya regional tourist board, ILTM Americas will also present a detailed Education Program, where discussion topics will include “The three most misused word in travel -- Ecotourism, Volunteerism and Sustainability” and “Social Media -- is it more than participating in Facebook and Twitter?”
