Returning for its 32nd edition, Arabian Travel Market (ATM) 2025 will take place from April 28-May 1 at Dubai World Trade Centre, unlocking business potential for the travel trade industry.
Expected to break attendance records with more than 55,000 penned in to visit the four-day event, ATM 2025 will welcome travel professionals from more than 160 countries.
This year’s theme - Global Travel: Developing Tomorrow’s Tourism Through Enhanced Connectivity – explores how the future of tourism will be shaped by connectivity across borders, industries and communities. The event will focus on how connectivity enables a more sustainable, inclusive and globally integrated travel industry, an idea that will be explored across the show floor, from the insightful ATM Conference to targeted networking sessions.
"ATM 2025 is on track to break records in terms of both attendance and exhibitor participation,” says Danielle Curtis, Exhibition Director for the Middle East, Arabian Travel Market. “This week, we look forward to welcoming travel professionals from all travel sectors and verticals, including the leisure, business events, luxury and corporate travel sectors.
“To accommodate the growing interest in ATM, we have added two additional halls this year and will deliver the ATM Conference Programme across three dynamic content stages - the Global Stage, Future Stage and Business Events Stage. I’m particularly looking forward to IBTM@ATM, a dedicated business events zone, and ATM Travel Tech, which highlights the transformative role of technology in shaping the future of the industry.”
Asia stands out as the fastest-growing region at ATM, with exhibitor participation rising by an impressive 20 per cent year-on-year. The event will feature a diverse range of Asian destinations, including Japan, Macao, the Maldives, Mauritius, South Korea, Thailand, and India.
Reflecting the travel industry’s total convergence with technology and innovation, ATM Travel Tech is larger than ever, with an increase of 23 per cent in the number of products presented at the event. Taking place in Hall 1 and Za’abeel Hall 3, the event will offer insights into the innovative technologies driving the travel and hospitality sector.
The section will house the new Start-Up and Innovation Zone, which will showcase the next wave of travel pioneers and feature an immersive VR experience that promises to provide visitors with a new perspective on the possibilities within the industry. For the fourth consecutive year, ATM will host the Start-Up Pitch Battle, spotlighting the most innovative minds in the Middle East.
A significant highlight of ATM 2025 is the launch of IBTM@ATM, a dedicated zone to connect business event buyers with a wide range of exhibitors, including venues and hotels, convention bureaus, tourism boards, airlines and more. At the heart of this new feature is the Business Events Stage, which will host a series of insightful sessions throughout the show, exploring strategies to unlock growth and opportunities in business events and corporate travel.
