Dubai gears up for Arabian Travel Market 2021

Arabian Travel Market (ATM) 2021 has reconfirmed that Dubai will host the largest in-person travel and tourism event in the world, since the onset of the pandemic last year.

Now in its 28th year, ATM 2021 will go ahead at the Dubai World Trade Center from May 16 to 19, as final preparations are being put in place. “The theme of this year’s show is ‘A new dawn for travel and tourism’ and the spotlight will be focused on the very latest COVID-19 news from around the world — vaccine rollouts, the current state of the industry and more importantly, what the future holds,” said Claude Blanc, portfolio director, WTM and IBTM portfolios.

ATM 2021 features 67 conference sessions with more than 145 local, regional and international speakers. A total of 62 countries are being represented on the exhibition floor this year, including the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Germany, Cyprus, Egypt, Indonesia, Malaysia, South Korea, the Maldives, the Philippines, Thailand, Mexico and the US.
