LUXURIQUE Shines at ILTM Cannes with New Global Partnerships

A week of inspiration, global connections and new opportunities

From 1 to 4 December 2025, LUXURIQUE took part in ILTM Cannes, the most influential gathering in the world of luxury travel. Every year, this event brings together the leaders of the industry at the Palais des Festivals et des Congrès, and once again it provided an inspiring and productive environment for our team.

The opening day

The event began on 1 December with the official opening ceremony, a moment that set the tone for the week. The atmosphere was filled with anticipation as professionals from every continent gathered to celebrate excellence in luxury travel. For LUXURIQUE, this first day was the perfect occasion to reconnect with long term partners, meet familiar faces and prepare for the series of meetings scheduled for the following days.

Guided by experience

LUXURIQUE attended ILTM Cannes under the leadership of our founder, Naomi Mano. With more than thirty years of experience in the Japanese hospitality sector, she has always considered ILTM Cannes one of the most important moments of the year. Her presence allowed us to strengthen our visibility among international media and to communicate our vision of luxury travel in Japan with clarity and passion.

Three days of meetings and discoveries

From 2 to 4 December, our team participated in a full program of one to one meetings with buyers from all over the world. This year, we concentrated particularly on the European and American markets, where the demand for exclusive travel experiences in Japan continues to grow.

Event Director Mizuku Asakura and Hospitality Manager Shoko Hida represented LUXURIQUE during these meetings. Their dedication and warm professionalism allowed them to present our services with confidence and sincerity, creating meaningful conversations with agencies and partners who share our values of authenticity and excellence.

Many buyers expressed enthusiasm for Japan as a destination, and our exchanges opened the door to future collaborations that promise new and exciting projects for the year to come.

Strengthening relationships within the industry

ILTM Cannes is not only a place to meet international buyers. It is also a rare opportunity to reconnect with professionals who work in Japan. During a sake tasting at the booth of the Japan National Tourism Organization, our team met several Japanese destination management companies. These moments of cultural exchange reminded us of the importance of unity and cooperation within our own market.

We also took advantage of the event to continue building our relationship with Spotlight Communications, our public relations agency. Face to face discussions allowed us to refine our communication strategy and to reinforce the foundations of our long term partnership.

Looking ahead with confidence

ILTM Cannes 2025 was an exceptional edition for LUXURIQUE. We returned to Tokyo with new contacts, renewed energy and a clear vision for the future. The event confirmed the growing interest in Japan as a destination for refined and meaningful travel experiences, and it strengthened our commitment to offering the very best of Japanese culture and hospitality to visitors from around the world.

As we look ahead to the coming year, we are excited to develop the projects initiated in Cannes and to continue sharing the beauty, depth and elegance of Japan with our international partners.
