In just a few days over 1,400 suppliers and more than 1,400 of the world’s top luxury travel buyers will come from 93 countries to Cannes to celebrate the successes of 2013. Moreover, in the 57,000+ meetings taking place, the industry will plot the trajectories of the next twelve months of luxury travel itineraries.


We know from our travels around the world that there is enormous interest in Africa and its growth is coming, not only from emerging markets, but also from established markets. Testament to this is the launch of British Airways A380 flights to Johannesburg, bringing much needed additional airlift capacity to the continent.


In this issue, we look forward to April 2014 when ILTM Africa will return to Cape Town and buyers from all over the world will meet the best that Africa has to offer. Over the coming pages you will find a dreamy selection of African experiences that are typical of the outstanding quality that we’re seeing emerging from this exciting continent.


Fast forward to May 2014 and it is with much delight that we welcomed Travelweek Sao Paulo into the ILTM family this week. There is enormous interest from suppliers worldwide to develop their business from Latin America, and Brazil continues to be a driver of much of the demand. Travelweek Sao Paulo will complement our other events in offering solutions to growing your business across this market.


These are just a few of the exciting things to look forward to in the next year and we are already looking forward to taking you on a voyage of discovery in 2014.
