4 ILTM Asia is the event everyone is talking about ILTM Asia is back to celebrate its 10th year of bringing together the top quality buyers and luxury travel experiences from Asia Pacific and across the globe. With a decade of success behind us in Asia we are very experienced in this region and have good relationships with an impressive contact list of the highest quality buyers. But we are never complacent and this year, we will be doubling our efforts to grow business for our attendees. We are excited to welcome back so many of our loyal clients, but if you are thinking about coming to ILTM Asia for the first time in 2016, let me reassure you, you are in great company. You can see from the Capgemini report that the luxury market in Asia is still booming. It is a continuing testament to the absolute resilience of the super wealthy luxury travellers to any economic downtown. This is even more evident in China, where the new economy is booming. We believe investors will be rewarded for staying patient Forbes says. Whilst some of the old economies in China are slowing, the growth in new economy industries remains vibrant. Much of the growing middle and upper class in China is employed by new economy companies and increasing consumption of new economy goods. Services are driven by this group as well. Make sure you keep your nerve and claim the rewards. Or as Warren Buffet is famous for saying be greedy when others are fearful!. Alison Gilmore Senior Exhibition Director ILTM Luxury Portfolio

6 First time exhibitors so good, they re back even bigger this year It s the first time for us to be part of ILTM and we have found that buyers from across China and Asia are really engaged with personalised travel experiences. It s a unique concept and we will definitely be back and even bigger next year Returners It s the first date on the sales calendar every year The quality of the new buyers this year has been clear. We have been part of ILTM Asia for many years now so it can be hard to meet people we don t know in the industry, but ILTM has brought in a greater spread of more luxury focused experiential buyers this year which has been great to see Anthony Rippingale Head of Tourism for McArthurGlen-Designer Outlets Jace Tyrell Deputy Chief Executive of Bond Street The Chinese and Asian Market is hugely popular for us not only for guests to Mauritius and The Maldives but now as we expand in China, ILTM Asia is once again the first date on our sales calendar every year!

9 Opportunities to build leads through high quality meetings Imagine the number of exotic itineraries that start each year at ILTM Asia. Up to 500 buyers. At least 40% are new. 26 Asia Pacific countries represented and 68% have an influence on final purchasing decisions. The conversations and planning start as soon as the doors open and continue long after the event finishes. We all talk about time being the new luxury something that is much wanted but in short supply. So nothing is wasted at ILTM Asia. We make sure you meet the buyers who really have the power to buy, who understand what the new trends in luxury mean for their clients and don t want to waste a minute of their time, this is why they choose to come to ILTM Asia. But before we decide to host a buyer, we check every application carefully to make sure we are giving you the best quality buyers in the market. Buyers who have significant business to place with luxury travel suppliers from multiple global destinations. And you won t find a lot of these buyers anywhere else, their time is too precious. It is our job to make sure there is a healthy rotation of buyers so you don t see the same people twice. Following your feedback last year, we have put a strong focus on recruiting even more buyers from China as well as Singapore, Indonesia and Hong Kong. More than 40% are completely new buyers to ILTM Asia. It s important that we bring you both buyers from established markets, plus those from emerging markets to help you develop business right out into the future Gareth Baguley, Buyer Manager, ILTM

10 And we make sure they understand the rules All our buyers are hosted by us. It is an invitation only event. And for this reason we go to every length to make sure buyers turn up for every meeting. This year we will be running quick breakfast briefings to educate our new Asian buyers on exactly what is expected of them at ILTM and to make the most of the event. We do everything we can to help buyers easily get from one appointment to another. Being a no show is not an option. And on site, we will be promoting instant feedback of any no shows on the app so our show team on the floor can follow up and help resolve any issues in real time. It s our passion to make your show as successful as possible. This year we noticed an improvement in the quality of buyers - especially from China. Their knowledge and awareness of our luxury offering is developing at pace 40% of our buyers are new this year Asia Pacific countries presented 26 68% have final purchasing decision Ben Chapman, Premium Sector Trade Manager Asia, Tourism New Zealand
