About ILTM Cannes

ILTM Cannes is the flagship of the ILTM Collection, organised by RX (Reed Exhibitions). The organiser calls it the end-of-year show that everyone in the luxury travel industry wants to attend. It began as a curated meeting ground for top-tier travel brands and hand-selected buyers.

• Pre-scheduled appointments between luxury suppliers and buyers. The organiser says the event facilitates over 85,000 pre-scheduled meetings each year.
• Educational sessions on trends in luxury travel.
• Networking and social events.
• Media presence, with international journalists on site.

Exhibitors include luxury hotels, exclusive experiences and destinations. Buyers are advisers who plan trips for high-net-worth travellers.
