Every year in April Dubai has the most specialized fair on travel and tourism that uncovers a large number of beneficial options that can ultimately make you win in the market whether you travel agent, tour leader, airline company, social media influencer, software company or in any other way related to the travel industry. I believe among all the platforms that support and uplift travel and tourism in different ways ARABIAN TRAVEL MARKET (ATM) is the most encouraging trade gathering. For me it’s the perfect combination of education and networking. There’s no doubt that Middle East is taking the travel industry bull by the horns.

In very simple words ARABIAN TRAVEL MARKET (ATM) is a HUGE travel exhibition and the organizers of ARABIAN TRAVEL MARKET (ATM) start planning it at least 12 months in advance because there’s so much happening in the four days show and it requires a significant amount of work that goes into it. At the ARABIAN TRAVEL MARKET (ATM) various leading travel industry trends as well various exhibits are showcased across 12 halls at Dubai World Trade Centre.
