Following an initial date change from April to June in order to follow health and safety protocols surrounding Covid-19, Reed Travel Exhibitions has now moved the 2020 Arabian Travel Market to next summer, in light of the changing global situation relating to Coronavirus, with the fair now taking place May 16-19, 2021, at the Dubai World Trade Centre.
The move followed discussions at the highest level, both internally and externally with local and federal governments, partners, sponsors, exhibitors and attendees “who all endorsed our evaluation of the current situation and our decision to act once again, without delay” an ATM press release stated today.
“We appreciate that this is disappointing news, however everyone’s health and safety is our top priority. We are fully aware of the important role that ATM plays for industry professionals right across the Middle East region and beyond, and we believe it is our responsibility to deliver a safe and successful event when were are able to do so,” the press statement continued.
While the live show has been moved to May 2021, there will be an ATM Virtual Event running from June 1-3 this summer, to offer positive business and networking opportunities to the Middle East’s vast travel and tourism community. The Virtual Event will feature webinars, live conference sessions, speed networking events, and one-on-one meetings in order to keep the conversations going and delivering connections and business opportunities online.
