Personal Travel Managers Find Fresh Inspiration for Luxury Travel in Singapore
Twenty specialists in luxury travel were hand-picked by TravelManagers to represent the brand at this year’s ILTM Asia Pacific luxury travel trade show. The prestigious event opened on 29th June at Singapore’s Marina Bay Sands Expo & Convention Centre, and provided the participating personal travel managers (PTMs) with a golden opportunity to rub shoulders with more than 650 other top-tier luxury travel specialists from around the world.
All PTMs chosen to attend ILTM 2025 had strong, proven track records as members of Signature Travel Network’s luxury travel program. With a fast-paced schedule built on three days of fifteen-minute, one-on-one appointments, they were able to connect with some of the best providers of luxury travel from around the globe, from five-star hotel groups to elite tourism boards and destination management companies (DMCs).
PTM Kerstin Rheinlander, who is based in Sinnamon Park, QLD, was delighted to be selected to attend the luxury event:
“From the moment I arrived, I was blown away by the calibre of exhibitors, the quality of conversations, and yes… the endless flow of Champagne that added a touch of sparkle to every connection. What an experience!”
As TravelManagers’ Operations Manager, Troy Coelho was part of the National Partnership Office (NPO) contingent that accompanied the PTMs.
He describes this year’s event as “a fantastic opportunity to strengthen relationships with luxury partners through the Signature Travel Network, discover emerging trends, and bring home fresh inspiration to elevate our clients’ travel experiences.”
