The 29th edition of the Middle East’s largest tourism exhibition is launched on a colossal scale – 85% larger than ATM 2021. The inauguration happened in the presence of His Highness Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum, who was accompanied by His Excellency Helal Saeed Almarri, Vasyl Zhygalo, Danielle Curtis and other famous names.After the world stood still for two years due to Covid-19, ATM 2022 is the harbinger of travel rebounding at a faster pace.

Countries from Jamaica to Italy are looking forward to reviving their footfalls. The event is all set up to welcome an anticipated 20,000 attendees.
ATM is a one-stop platform for all travel leaders and big industrial giants in the Middle East and across the world to come together and discuss the future including technology and sustainability.
The theme for this year is ‘The future of international travel and tourism’, and what better place could be other than Dubai to celebrate it.
