What to expect at ILTM - International Luxury Travel Market Spa

Travel and hospitality shows are built around appointments. Many attendees run back-to-back scheduled meetings, while others browse destinations and suppliers between them.

Over four days, traffic usually peaks on the first two days and thins out on the last one. The quieter final day is a good time for longer conversations, visiting other stands and meeting suppliers. Expect most visitors to be tour operators and their colleagues, often with a short list of suppliers they want to see.

How exhibitors should prepare for ILTM - International Luxury Travel Market Spa

Here is a working timeline counted back from the opening day, October 4, 2027 (expected date, so adjust once it is confirmed):

1. 16 weeks before (Jun 14, 2027)
   Confirm your booth space and read the exhibitor manual. Book hotels in New Providence while rates are still normal.
2. 8 weeks before (Aug 9, 2027)
   Order booth services (power, internet, furniture, cleaning) before the early-rate deadlines, and send graphics to print.
3. 4 weeks before (Sep 6, 2027)
   Ship freight to the advance warehouse if the organizer offers one. Book meetings with the visitors you most want to see. Set up lead capture and train the team on it.
4. One week before (Sep 27, 2027)
   Confirm freight arrived, share the staffing schedule, charge every device, and test your lead capture app with Wi-Fi turned off.

Preparation tips for travel and hospitality shows

• Use the show's appointment system early; the best slots fill weeks ahead.
• Prepare rates, availability and commission details for buyers who ask on the spot.
• Bring visual material about the destination or property in a digital format.

Booth tips for ILTM - International Luxury Travel Market Spa

• Keep meetings on schedule; buyers often have their next appointment minutes later.
• Ask what markets and client types the buyer serves.
• Make it easy to save your contact and your offer digitally.
• Plan shifts of three to four hours. Standing and talking for four days wears people out, and tired staff let good leads walk past.
• If you expect local buyers in Bahamas, bring key material in the local language as well as English, and have prices ready in the local currency.
• Capture every conversation the moment it ends: scan the badge or card, add a one-line note about what the visitor needs, and rate the lead hot, warm or cold. Notes written that evening are already half forgotten.
