The Bahamas Shines at ILTM North America 2025
We were proud to serve as a sponsor of this year’s International Luxury Travel Market (ILTM) North America, held at the breathtaking Baha Mar Resort! Bringing the world’s most discerning travel professionals to our shores, the event provided the perfect platform to highlight The Islands of The Bahamas as the ultimate luxury destination.
As the premier luxury travel event in the region, ILTM North America gathered world-class hospitality brands, global buyers, and travel advisors for curated one-on-one meetings, insightful panel discussions, and meaningful networking—all set against the backdrop of our sun-kissed paradise. It was an extraordinary opportunity to showcase why The Bahamas remains a top choice for travelers seeking unparalleled experiences, world-class service, and unforgettable moments.

Alongside Phelan Ferguson, General Manager of Latin American Sales, the team engaged with more than 1,000 global travel professionals, showcasing the very best of Bahamian hospitality, style, and sophistication.
