TravelManagers sent their biggest group of representatives ever to the recent International Luxury Travel Market (ILTM) APAC in Singapore.

Nearly 40 Personal Travel Managers (PTMs) and personnel from the National Partnership Office attended the prestigious event.

Widely viewed as the premier luxury travel expo, the invitation-only event was held at the Sands Expo & Convention Centre inside Marina Bay Sands, Singapore, and brought travel advisors together with more than 650 brands.

The TravelManagers group attended three days of pre-scheduled appointments, educational sessions and networking.

Many PTMs have carved out a niche for themselves in the luxury travel space, curating itineraries and forging close supplier relationships to send their clients on unique holidays.

“It was such a wonderful week to work on our business and relationships with luxury partners in the industry,” said PTM Mel Harrop.

“I can certainly see ILTM’s value and really enjoyed connecting with suppliers,” added PTM Dom Bellissimo.

The collective response was that ILTM was invaluable for their businesses, creating new relationships, discovering new products and providing the opportunity to be totally immersed in everything luxury travel.

Michael Gazal, Executive General Manager for TravelManagers, said he was incredibly proud of how the cohort represented the business.

“So many suppliers knew TravelManagers well and commented on our value to their business and how friendly, professional and engaged our team was,” he added.

“The feeling was mutual; our PTMs left the Market with so much knowledge, fantastic new connections and unforgettable experiences.”
