1,000 Travel Industry Professionals Expected To
Attend TravelMart LatinAmerica 2010 In Lima, Peru.

 

(Jacksonville, Florida, USA & Lima, Peru) An estimated 1,000 tourism professionals including Buyers from global markets and Suppliers from every Latin America Country are expected to attend the 34th Annual TravelMart LatinAmerica in Lima, Peru, September 22, 23 and 24, at the recently renovated Real Felipe Fortress.

 

TravelMart LatinAmerica was first held in Lima 1978, and this will be the fourth time that this prestigious business development Event for Latin America tourism will be returning to Peru. TravelMart LatinAmerica was last held here in 2005. Last year’s TravelMart LatinAmerica was held in the Patagonia Region of Chile.

 

Over 300 Travel Industry “Buyers” from the world’s most important markets, including the United States, Canada, Europe, Asia, and the Pacific, and over 250 Supplier Companies from all Latin America destinations attend each year. Highly qualified International Travel Journalists also participate. The Event features an exclusive Select-Match “pre-scheduled appointments system” that arranges meetings between “Buyers and Suppliers” in advance. Almost 8,000 business appointments are expected to be pre-scheduled for this year’s TravelMart LatinAmerica. TravelMart LatinAmerica attendance has traditionally been “sold out,” and that is expected to occur again this year. This “balanced” Buyer/Supplier registration helps assure that TravelMart LatinAmerica delegates will have a productive and enjoyable experience.

 

All the TravelMart LatinAmerica 2010 business sessions will be held at the Real Felipe Fortress. The Buyers and Suppliers will be staying at Hotels that are members of Sociedad Hoteles del Peru. Host Hotels that are providing accommodations for Buyers include: Casa Andina, Country Club, Crowne Plaza, Doubletree El Pardo, Hotel Libertador, JW Marriott, Melia, Miraflores Park, Novotel, Plaza del Bosque, Sheraton, Sofitel, Sonesta El Olivar, and Thunderbird Principal.

 

Most of the TravelMart LatinAmerica delegates will be visiting several tourism sites throughout Peru by taking advantage of special Pre and Post Tours.

 

Some of this year’s primary sponsors include: PromPeru, Canatur, Sociedad Hoteles del Peru, Brazil, Quito Visitors’ Bureau, Oro Verde Hotels, Hotel Quito, and Rainforest Alliance. LAN, the Official Host Country Airline, and American Airlines, the TravelMart LatinAmerica Official Airline Sponsor, are offering special promotional fares for Buyers and Suppliers.

 

Mrs. Irma Coleman, President & CEO of William H. Coleman, Inc., the TravelMart LatinAmerica organizing company, said: “We are very excited about once again bringing TravelMart LatinAmerica back to Lima, the Event’s actual “birth place!” Many TravelMart LatinAmerica Buyers and Suppliers have visited Peru before, but this will be an excellent opportunity for them to personally experience the many changes and advances that are continually happening in the Peru Travel Industry.” Mrs. Coleman also stated: “The TravelMart LatinAmerica Host Committee is a group of dedicated professionals who have been working very hard for almost two (2) years to make this Event successful, and we are looking forward to welcoming everyone back to Lima.”

 

TravelMart LatinAmerica is produced and managed by William H. Coleman, Inc., an international events management firm headquartered in Jacksonville, Florida, USA with offices in Toronto, Canada, and London, England.
