Asia Luxury on a roll
SHANGHAI – Asia Luxury Travel Market (ALTM), in its second year, is almost double the size of the 2007 inaugural event.
“We expected ALTM to grow quickly, just as its sister event ILTM (International Luxury Travel Market) did when we started it seven years ago,†says ALTM and ILTM founder Serge Dive.
“But the pace of growth of ALTM has surprised even us. It’s been even more rapid than that of ILTM, which shows how excited everyone is about the enormous growth potential from Asia.â€
This year’s new exhibitors include the ultra chic Bulgari Hotels & Resorts, the UK’s Maybourne Hotel Group which comprises three of Europe’s finest hotels, Claridge’s, The Berkeley and The Connaught, Tourism Ireland, Lufthansa Private Jets, Regalia Hotel Group, Bombardier Skyjet, International, Turismo Madrid, Dreamscape International and Luxury Australia which features Orion Expedition Cruises and Wilderness Australia.
Another of ALTM’s new exhibitors, Luca Fanucchi of The Coselli Collection, commented that: “Throughout the years, the Coselli Collection has been a leader in providing luxury Italian fine living in historic Tuscan villas to guests from throughout Europe and the USA.
“With Asian outbound travel forecasts predicting substantial growth, especially for high quality accommodation and service providers, we are looking forward to our first year with ALTM in Shanghai.â€
Due to the growth in the number of exhibitors attending ALTM this year, the show’s organisers have increased the number of VIP buyers invited to match exhibitor demand.
ALTM is organised like a private club, in that attendance is by invitation only and the VIP travel buyers are flown in and fully hosted by the show’s organisers.
