One way to have a conditional mode that ignores text if exporting to
latex is to use a latex macro that swallows up text.  I define my own
for clarity:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
#+latex: \newcommand{\dummy}[1]{}

* Introduction

Hello
#+latex: \dummy{%
world and other
#+latex: }% the percent signs are important to minimise white space in export
planets.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

In LaTeX, you will get "Hello planets." whereas in any other export you
should get "Hello world and other planets."
