Singapore was the venue for an exclusive luncheon hosted by Luxury Travel Collection (LTC) on the eve of ILTM Asia Pacific.
Hosted alongside Regent Seven Seas Cruises (RSSC), Visit Monaco and Monte-Carlo Société des Bains de Mer, the gathering celebrated the relationships, shared expertise and global connections that continue to help shape the future of luxury travel.
More than a luncheon, it reflected LTC’s ongoing commitment to creating meaningful international opportunities for its members, ensuring they remain connected to the people, brands and destinations defining luxury travel around the world.
“Bringing our members together in Singapore, as the global luxury travel industry gathers for ILTM Asia Pacific, says something very powerful about who our community is and the level at which they operate,” reflected Nikki Glading, General Manager, Luxury Travel Collection.
“This is not just about proximity to great brands. It is about the relationships our members build, the conversations they have and the influence they carry with them wherever they go.”
Widely regarded as the Asia-Pacific region’s premier luxury travel trade event, ILTM Asia Pacific brings together the world’s leading luxury travel brands and an invited community of luxury travel advisors from across the region.
For LTC members attending as hosted buyers, the week provides an unparalleled opportunity to strengthen global partnerships, discover emerging luxury experiences and engage directly with the people shaping the future of luxury travel.
The luncheon featured insights from senior leaders across Regent Seven Seas Cruises, including Steve Odell, Global Ambassador, RSSC.
A respected veteran of the ultra-luxury cruise industry, Odell recently returned to the APAC region in his new ambassadorial role, opening the gathering with characteristic warmth while reflecting on the enduring relationship between Regent and the LTC community – a partnership he described as foundational rather than transactional.
“This week is one of the most important weeks in luxury travel across Asia Pacific,” said Mr Odell.
“It’s an opportunity not only to showcase our cruise experience, but to work alongside exceptional partners who help create extraordinary journeys before and after every voyage.”
The luncheon also welcomed Visit Monaco and Monte-Carlo Société des Bains de Mer (SBM), inviting advisors to reconsider one of Europe’s most iconic luxury destinations.
While many travellers experience the Principality as a day trip, the message was clear: Monaco is a destination that rewards a longer stay, presenting a significant opportunity for luxury advisors creating bespoke European itineraries.
“Monaco is not just a day trip, but also a destination that deserves a stay. We want your clients to stay in the Principality. Through this, you will see why Monaco and why now,” shared Claire Kaletka-Neil, Regional Manager AU & NZ, Visit Monaco.
