Alison Gilmore, Senior Exhibition Director at ILTM Japan says:
"Rich in history, culture and tradition; Japan is a cultivated choice for the switched-on luxury traveller. This year, we are delighted to welcome a series of experts to the ILTM Japan Opening Forum to explore the distinctive landscape of luxury culture in Japan, and the inimitable tastes of an elite class of switched-on Japanese travellers, who come from the 3rd largest travel market overall."
The only one of its kind, the third edition of ILTM Japan will take place from 16 - 18 March, at SODOH Higashiyma, Kyoto and again supported by the City of Kyoto and the Japan Tourism Agency. At the heart of the event is a bespoke, one-to-one appointment programme, which allows attendees to take part in a schedule of meetings with buyers and suppliers from Japan as well as the rest of the world.
Japan strategist Jesper Koll will begin the Opening Forum by taking the audience on an economic tour of Japan. His presentation will examine the economic developments that he perceives will be instrumental in shaping policy in the coming 5 years, highlighting the opportunities and risks for the Japanese inbound and outbound luxury travel industry.
Everett Kennedy Brown - a well-known photographer in Japan - will then explore the country's luxury landscape, looking at the Japanese philosophy of hospitality, its unique culture and way of thinking. He will highlight the nuances of this precise, product savvy, affluent market with unprecedented demand for luxury experiences abroad.
The panel discussion that closes the Forum will address what today's travellers look for when they choose to visit Japan. The panel will comprise Satomi Kurabayashi, the Editor of Japan's premium luxury travel magazine - CREA Traveller; Chris Kucway, Editor of Travel + Leisure South East Asia; Susumu Ohta, Japanese publisher and travel expert and leading US travel agent Erina Pindar.
International exhibitors at ILTM Japan 2015 include Aman Resorts, Iniala, Regnum Carya Golf & Spa Resort, Silversea Cruises, Tourism New Zealand and Viceroy Maldives. Japanese exhibitors include the newly opened Andaz Tokyo Toranomon Hills, The Ryokan Collection, The Art of Travel and luxury properties from Kyoto and Nara.
