Reed Travel Exhibitions (RTE) has announced a strategic partnership with tour operator Healing Holidays, a specialist in luxury spa and well being tourism as its first ‘Spa and Wellness by ILTM” event also announces that it has pre-qualified over half of its Hosted Buyer programme.
Frances Geoghegan, Managing Director of Healing Holidays, commented: “It makes perfect sense to partner with ‘Spa and Wellness by ILTM’. We have long waited for a platform from which to engage with the best in the field of spas and discuss the future trends and innovations. The ILTM brand resonates with quality and excellence and delivers constantly. There is no doubt that we will add fabulous finds to our list of the very best spa and wellness properties across the globe by taking part in ‘Spa & Wellness by ILTM’.”
‘Spa & Wellness by ILTM’ will take place from 10th to 12th September 2012 at Interalpen-Hotel Tyrol in Seefeld, Austria. The event will follow the ILTM concept of one to one meetings between buyers and suppliers. The restricted, by invitation only event, has already accepted VIP Buyers representing tour operators and agents from Russia, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, Germany and Austria.
Alison Gilmore, International Luxury Travel Market (ILTM) Exhibition Director, commented:
“It’s clear from the immediate enquiries of those wishing to be Hosted Buyers, that there is a distinct need for this event and we are delighted that the qualification process so far has already confirmed spa specific agencies and those who have the spa and wellness subject as their core leisure business model."
Like all ILTM events, ‘Spa & Wellness by ILTM’ will only pre-qualify and personally invite the senior decision makers from specialist tour operators. Up to 40 VIP Hosted Buyers will meet with an equal number of global exhibitors. Both suppliers and buyers are invited to register their wish to meet each other in advance to set up the most valuable meetings. The event also sees conference sessions that focus on the latest spa and wellness topics.
