ILTM AFRICA  Cape Town, 8 – 9 April 2013
 Many of these participants will be exhibiting at a trade show for the first time and will join Hosted Buyers who also have not attended an event of this kind in Africa before – 37% of these will attend an ILTM event for the first time.

ILTM Africa will take place at the Mount Nelson hotel in Cape Town on Monday 8 and Tuesday 9 April 2013.   Creating a new trade show formula, ILTM Africa will deliver a bespoke one-to-one pre-scheduled appointment system mutually decided between Hosted Buyers and exhibitors of only high-end, distinctly African properties such as Classic Safari Camps – including Tongabezi Lodge in Zambia, Ant’s Hill in Waterberg and Robin Pope Safari’s in Zambia and Malawi. In addition, Tanzania’s Essque Zalu Zanzibar, Malawi’s Kaya Mawa, Mozambique’s Azura Retreats and the Mantis Collection plus South Africa’s Morukuru Family and The Royal Portfolio, establishes the quality of African luxury experiences taking part in this launch edition.

ILTM Africa will host 70 international VIP buyers from major markets including the USA, Europe and Brazil, each with a specialism in Africa, personally invited and verified to ensure their luxury travel credentials are of the highest standard.  The event matches mutual requests from both buyers and exhibitors to meet on a one-to-one basis to build business opportunities and communities.

Muriel Minnell Falck, CEO & Executive Director of Argentina’s Sundance Tours, a specialist in Africa’s exotic destinations commented:
“There are Africa luxury specialists all over the world who have long needed a dedicated forum at which to meet solely high end African product, from the established to the smaller, lesser-known brands.  ILTM Africa is extremely promising and we are very much looking forward to being part of its launch in April and meet with exhibitors who would mutually benefit from forging new relationships.”

Like all other ILTM events, ILTM Africa will feature a detailed programme of social networking opportunities.  In addition, the ILTM Africa Opening Forum will reflect both regional and global key luxury travel trends and issues, in a series of live interviews and debates.  

Alison Gilmore, ILTM Exhibition Director said:
“Our pre-event research was clearly extremely accurate - the overwhelming interest in ILTM Africa since we launched such a short time ago, shows just how much demand there is for an event that focuses exclusively on the high-end market. The global portfolio of ILTM events are about addressing the needs of both the buyers and suppliers and the response we have received will help ILTM Africa to grow in 2014.”

Further information on the ILTM Africa event programme will be announced shortly.  For further information, please contact Sam Chance (sam.chance@reedexpo.co.uk).
