Some key dates and details for ILTM Cannes 2025
The official theme of the International Luxury Travel Market (ILTM) Cannes 2025, scheduled from 1ᵉʳ to 4 December 2025, has not yet been announced.
The 2024 edition was based above all on luxury: at this business-to-business show, exhibitors from all over the world are offering different, sometimes rather unexpected products that reflect the latest trends.

For the ITLM in Cannes, a four-day programme of high quality events has been scheduled in advance, with educational sessions, networking, parties and exhibitions that sum up the incredible ILTM experience.
