Long days

Busy days and nights at ILTM – a fruitful time for negotiation and bonding with our valued partners in the luxury travel industry.

Three important days

 

The International Luxury Travel Market is the most important trade show for Select Collection. For three full days we meet our hotels and resorts, and attend evening functions where we socialize and deepen our relationship with our suppliers. This year three of us are invited: Fredrik Ottosson deputy MD, Neil Bedford Product Manager, and me.  Each of us has 12 meetings per day…

 

Here we are met at Nice airport

Select is one of the VIP buyers invited for the helicopter ride to Cannes where the trade show takes place...

A big one for 6 people
