The 30th edition will “address one of the most significant challenges facing the sector, in line with our theme of Working Towards Net Zero”, commented Danielle Curtis, exhibition director ME, ATM.

“Increased participation in this year’s show not only reflects the seriousness with which global tourism professionals and policymakers are taking sustainability, but also rising demand for leisure and business travel across the Middle East and beyond.”

Exhibitor participation will be 27 per cent higher than last year, with more than 2,000 exhibitors and beyond 34,000 attendees from over 150 countries.

The event will also host an array of regional policymakers, private-sector leaders, and speakers addressing sector-critical issues throughout the four days of the event.

Curtis added: “We look forward to learning how they are working to achieve net zero within their respective tourism markets, as our industry comes together to showcase the cutting-edge innovations and solutions that are driving the next generation of sustainable travel in the Middle East and beyond.”

To mark the 30th edition, Curtis and her team will unveil a dedicated sustainability pledge designed to reinforce commitment to the delivery of sustainable events and supplemented by a new playbook offering participants a framework within which to mitigate their environmental impact before, during and after the show – it also offers an operational guide for ATM as it works towards net zero by 2030.

In addition, this year’s show will also see the return of the ATM Travel Tech Stage, which will showcase how cutting-edge innovations – artificial intelligence, metaverse, cryptocurrency and big data – are driving environmentally responsible tourism.
