Ireland will also have a special focus, with Tourism Ireland attracting a handful of partners to travel to London for the show to meet luxury travel planners.

Switzerland in the spotlight

Another dedicated focus will be Switzerland, with the country set to shine a light on the destination’s growing appeal among luxury travellers.
