Arabian Travel Market (ATM) is a travel and tourism event held annually in Dubai where it was first launched in 1994. And this year it's held from the 1st of May to the 4th of May at the Dubai World Trade Centre.

Arabian Travel Market's focus is to encourage global travel by conducting seminars and workshops to understand the travel industry through a variety of speakers and influential figures from the travel industry covering the latest insights. Also by organizing Buyers'club lounges where it provides an opportunity for the industry decision makers with direct purchasing responsibilities to meet & expand connections and through speed networking exhibitors could hold fiveminute meetings with buyers of their choice. Then follow up with a more in-depth discussion at the exhibitor’s stand during the show. Arabian Travel Market invites innovative technology industry leaders to participate in Travel Tech explaining their experiences in the travel and hospitality industry illuminating technology all over the process from innovation to the endpoint.

“The sustainability award will be open to all exhibitors who can nominate themselves with a justification against certain criteria that will be clearly laid out in the ATM operations manual, "As usual, the judging panel will have an exceptionally difficult job, comparing creative design, people skills and business-friendly appeal.
