Looking for the best places to travel in 2026? Every December, the global travel industry gathers to discuss that very question (and more) at the International Luxury Travel Marketplace (ILTM) in Cannes, France.

Over several days, travel leaders, destination experts, buyers, influencers and tastemakers from around the world compared notes on the places and trends reshaping the global tourism landscape.
