ILTM sets out plans for Americas events in 2022

The show is one of two events across the region, with ILTM North America confirmed for September in Mexico. 

Rosewood Sao Paulo, which is the group’s first hotel in South America and is part of a groundbreaking new sustainability-focused district in the city, will welcome buyers and suppliers to ILTM Latin America 3-6 May 2022.

The hotel sits within a fully renovated historic building with cultural reference points including more than 450 works by 57 Brazilian artists. 

The show’s organisers said: “ILTM Latin America will be the first of the events to highlight luxury as the key segment of travel driving economic recovery across the globe. Since March 2020, many luxury hotels, properties, experiences and connected businesses have been renovated or benefited from some innovation in the services they are now able to offer. Reflecting the interests of the new luxury traveller, sustainability has also been a driving force across all of these changes.”
 
Meanwhile, ILTM North America is confirmed to remain at its usual venue of Fairmont Mayakoba in Riviera Maya, Mexico, taking place 19-22 September. 
 
“The luxury travel market had the advantage of being strong and productive before the pandemic, enough to survive a crisis without losing quality. In fact, quite the opposite – during the relatively quiet recent times, we have seen brands buying land, renovating their properties and creating new experiences to welcome new luxury travellers,” said Simon Mayle, events director for ILTM Latin and North America. “These high-end properties understood that when the time came, travellers would be hungry to reconnect with new experiences that resonate with their new passions and interests.”
 
Brands set to participate include The Ritz-Carlton New York and Bal Harbour, The Maybourne Beverly Hills, The St-Regis Mexico City and New York, Nizuc Resort and Spa, Conrad Tulum and Las Ventanas al Paraiso, A Rosewood Resort. 
 
Among other ILTM events for 2022 will be ILTM Asia Pacific taking place in Singapore, 5-8 September and ILTM Cannes, from 5-8 December.
