In addition, 78% of participating destination and hotel spas expected to confirm orders of values ranging between US $8,500 and US $85,000 within one year of the 2013 show and a significant number are returning to this year’s event.
Gabriel Donida of Germany’s Atelier Voyage comments:
“ILTM Spa continues to offer my team the opportunity to explore the world of wellness and expand our services to meet their varying needs accordingly. At the last two ILTM Spa events, we have met and are now working with several core partners including Kamalaya, Verdura Golf & Spa Resort, Terre Blanche, Como Hotels, Grand Resort Bad Ragaz and La Réserve to name but a few and our clients are delighted. We look forward to building our repertoire still further at this year’s ILTM Spa.”
David Paterson, Exhibition Manager, ILTM Spa adds:
“The ‘invitation-only’ structure of ILTM is testament to its ongoing success. The pre-scheduled appointments between dedicated spa suppliers and specialised buyers at ILTM Spa establish important partnerships and create valuable new business. We look forward to supporting the further growth of the escalating international spa business community at ILTM Spa 2014 in London this year.”
