Arabian Travel Week

Always a popular event in the world-wide industry calendar Arabian Travel Week in Dubai returns in May.

Working in collaboration with the Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) and the Dubai Department of Tourism & Commerce Marketing (DTCM), the event will take place live and in-person from 9-11 May.

In similar fashion to the 2021 format, a virtual edition will again take place the following week on 17-18 May.

Danielle Curtis, Exhibition Director, Middle East, Arabian Travel Market said: “Covid-19 has dominated our lives since March 2020 and continues to do so in many parts of the world.

“However, although international travel and tourism has learnt from past experiences and adapted in some cases almost seamlessly, we now have an ideal opportunity to look ahead to the future of our industry.

“Dwelling to much on the pre-Covid past, would not necessarily be productive, especially because so many industry parameters and social attitudes have since been completely reset.

“Undoubtedly innovation through internet of things, artificial intelligence, virtual reality and improved connectivity overall, will change the face of our industry dramatically, however, there are other challenges, that we should address together and share industry best practice.

“These issues include climate change and broader social challenges, as well as stakeholder attitudes towards equity in health, education and economic opportunity, particularly in the communities that we operate in", added Curtis.
