Simon Mayle, ILTM Head of Marketing and Buyer Programmes commented: “Riviera Maya is all about luxury travel today - the perfect host for ILTM Americas. Very few destinations offer such an overwhelming ‘sense of place’ and the resort is one of a kind, nestled amongst jungle mangroves and lagoons and at one with the natural environment.”
With the Mexican economy growing at its fastest pace in the first quarter of 2012 for more than a year, the Mexico and Riviera Maya Tourism Boards are working closely with ILTM to ensure the destination sets the scene for business success. Celebrations will take place throughout ILTM Americas at destinations including the majestic archaeological park of Xcaret, the authentic Mexican Orient-Express’ Maroma Resort and Spa and the celebrated Fairmont Mayakoba.
Mr Mayle concluded: “With the first ILTM Americas selling out at such an early stage, this is the perfect environment to create new levels of innovation, style and creative travel solutions. It is clear that introducing ILTM inspiration to the Americas’ most productive buyers within a truly authentic, luxury resort in one of the world’s fastest growing economies is perfect for all involved in serious luxury travel business.”
