ILTM North America luxury travel gathering returns to Baha Mar
Luxury travel trade event ILTM North America will return to Baha Mar in the Bahamas later this year.
Organized by RX Global, it takes place from 28 September to 1 October 2026, connecting more than 500 of the top performing luxury travel advisors with upscale travel brands.
According to Fortune Business Insights, North America accounts for nearly one-third of total global luxury travel spend.
“The influence of North America’s luxury traveler has never been greater,” said Simon Mayle, Event Director, ILTM North America.
“Engaging directly with the advisors who represent these high-value clients is now essential for any brand looking to grow in luxury travel.”
ILTM says shifting travel preferences among affluent travelers are reshaping destination demand.
An increasing number of travelers are choosing wide-open natural spaces, from Alaska and Antarctica to the Fjords of Scandinavia and African safaris.
Costa Rica, Belize, and Guatemala are also emerging as escapes for high-net-worth travelers.
ILTM North America will feature luxury brands like Six Senses, Explora Journeys and Regent Seven Seas Cruises, along with bespoke collections Relais & Châteaux and The Set Collection.
“With unparalleled access to the advisors driving luxury travel spend, ILTM North America remains the definitive event for suppliers seeking meaningful connections and tangible business opportunities,” Mayle added.
