Targeting luxury travel business for the island of Ireland

Tourism Ireland and partners attend International Luxury Travel Market North America

Six tourism businesses from the island of Ireland are joining Tourism Ireland at International Luxury Travel Market (ILTM) North America this week.

ILTM North America is an invitation-only event for the global luxury sector – attracting more than 400 influential travel agents and decision-makers who design unique, luxury travel itineraries for their high net-worth international clients. Luxury travel editors and journalists from international publications are also in attendance. 

The four-day event involves a programme of bespoke one-to-one appointments and networking sessions and is an excellent opportunity for the tourism businesses from Ireland to meet, and do business with, the influential travel agents and journalists. Around 320 commercial meetings are scheduled to take place on the Tourism Ireland stand at the event. 

David Boyce, Tourism Ireland’s Head of Business Events and Luxury, said: “Our participation at this year’s ILTM North America is an excellent opportunity to showcase the superb luxury tourism offering right around the island of Ireland – from our boutique hotels, castles and luxury resorts to our rich culture and heritage and not forgetting our world-class golf and superb culinary scene.

“The format of one-to-one appointments provides an excellent opportunity for our partners to network and do business with new and established luxury travel buyers from around the world – ensuring the island of Ireland is ‘top of mind’ for them when recommending destinations to their clients for 2027 and beyond.”
