| International Luxury Travel Market Encompassing discussions and seminars, the conference will look at the issues of private ownership, destination marketing, how luxury continues to redefine itself and the new emerging markets for luxury travel. In its fifth anniversary year the International Luxury Travel Market in Cannes from 4 to 7 December, 2006 continues to reinforce its position as the premier travel trade show targeting the luxury sector. Two panel discussions will allow the audience to raise issues pertinent to their own businesses. The 'Take it Private' discussion moderated by luxury travel journalist and Departures' Editor-at-Large Sophy Roberts will look at how affluent consumers increasingly seek exclusive access and ownership of their travel experiences. The panel will comprise experts from the realms of private yacht charters, hotels and resorts, private tours and experiences as well as jet charters and fractional ownership. The 'Emerging Markets of the Future' panellist will include Mimma Viglezio from the Gucci Group, together with experts with knowledge to the specific markets of Russia, India and China. With the global market for luxury goods estimated to be worth US$80 billion and growing – this discussion will look at key trends in the emerging markets, how they differ and thus the need for distinct marketing and sales strategies. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Exhibition News :: home page |
