The region’s leading luxury travel event -- ILTM Asia Pacific -- is set to take place at Marina Bay Sands, Singapore on June 19-22, 2023. It is expected to attract a thousand delegates, reaching pre-pandemic levels of attendance, and a show of confidence that the luxury travel market has recovered.
According to a statement from the organizer, this year’s edition "sees a myriad of business opportunities for international and regional luxury travel brands and destinations alike, with over 450 select luxury travel advisors from across the region looking to connect with over 450 luxury travel providers."

During the three days, pre-scheduled meetings and networking opportunities will happen. Luxury travel agents, representing the region’s highest net worth of clients, will be hosted at the event by ILTM in Singapore, with 44 percent being new to the trade show this year. The majority (60 percent) will be from Australasia, while 9 percent will come from South-East Asia, 8 percent from China, 7 percent from India and Hong Kong, 6 percent from Taiwan, and 3 percent from Japan.
The show has also already seen confirmation from smaller, independent luxury travel suppliers such as ÀNI Private Resorts (the world’s first collection of exclusive and all-inclusive private resorts), Jawakara (a new, high-end family friendly and multigenerational Maldives island), and Angama (a stunning new safari lodge in Kenya).
Established brands such as Rosewood Hotels and Resorts, Hyatt Hotels & Resorts, Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts, Marriott International Luxury Brands, IHG Hotels & Resorts and Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group will be present, as well as XO Private, Preferred Hotels, Small Luxury Hotels of the World and Leading Hotels of the World who will be showcasing many of their member hotels. Attendees can tour several international destinations across the show floor with Fiji, Italy, Portugal, and Korea all committing to attend.
“ILTM Asia Pacific will bring new levels of travel expertise and boundless energy. The success of ILTM is not just the appointments on the show-floor, but the many different opportunities to meet, connect, network, and build relationships – often officially and informally,” said Alison Gilmore, director of ILTM Portfolio with RX Global.
Established and new luxury travel brands will be present for the 2023 edition.
Another highlight will be the results of the latest ILTM research undertaken in collaboration with research specialist Altiant, to be launched during the event’s opening forum, which will be held at the Ritz Carlton Millenia Singapore.
“The last three years have seen the travel industry confronted by unique and unprecedented challenges, giving way to predictions, opinions, and forecasts. And as China moves out of a prolonged period of lockdown the travel industry needs to understand which trends are being reflected and which are mere speculation,” Gilmore added.
