The first ILTM Americas will take place in the luxury resort of Mayakoba, on the Mexican Riviera Maya, from 1 – 3 October 2012 with the full support of Mexico Tourism Board. The summit will follow ILTM’s successful format of selecting the most discerning luxury travel agents and specialists to meet directly with the world’s leading luxury travel suppliers. ILTM will carefully select 100 of the estimated 14,000 travel advisors buying luxury products across the Americas to ensure they are the leading agents from the Americas (Central, North and South America).
To comply with ILTM’s policy of pre-qualifying both buyers and exhibitors, each of the buyers and suppliers invited to attend will be accredited for participation in ILTM Americas. Pre-scheduled appointments will be arranged on a strict one-to-one ratio.
Reed Travel Exhibitions Luxury and Specialist Portfolio Director Mark Walsh commented:“The world is set to alter dramatically with heavily populated and rapidly developing countries such as Mexico and South America taking centre stage in terms of spending power and global influence. Mexico’s GDP is predicted to increase by 334% to $6682 billion by 2050, overtaking the UK, which is predicted to increase by a comparable 149% to $5682 billion across the same period.”
