Tourism and hospitality professionals from around the world can now register to attend Arabian Travel Market (ATM) 2023, which will take place at Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) from 1-4 May.

In line with its theme of ‘Working Towards Net Zero’, the 30th edition of ATM will offer a forum for industry leaders and policymakers from across the Middle East and beyond to explore challenges and opportunities related to the future of sustainable travel.

Danielle Curtis , Exhibition Director ME, Arabian Travel Market, said: “We are excited to officially open registration for the 30 th edition of ATM, which  will shine a spotlight on sustainability within our sector and how regional decision-makers are driving decarbonisation while maximising profitability and enhancing customer experiences.

“This year’s conference programme will feature a huge range of sessions that will explore innovation and best practice related to environmental, social and governance (ESG),” Curtis added. “We expect to welcome more than 34,000 public and private sector travel, tourism and hospitality experts from around the world to ATM 2023 – including over 1,500 exhibitors and representatives from over 150 destinations – making it the perfect platform for relationship-building and knowledge-sharing that will drive tangible, sustainable change.”

The ATM 2023 conference programme is being specifically developed to address sustainability issues across the travel and tourism industry, with commentary from leadership figures representing a variety of sectors such as Destinations, Travel Technology, Aviation, Cruise, Investment, Recruitment, Hotels and Hospitality.

There will also be a number of sessions dedicated to key source markets, including India and Saudi Arabia. In addition, ATM will see the return of the ATM Start-up competition where this year, seven innovative travel start-ups will pitch battle on stage to expert judges and audience as they look to showcase their solution impacting travel sustainability and recovery.

Having officially initiated its journey to net zero, the conference programme will explore how innovative sustainable travel trends are likely to evolve, allowing delegates to identify growth strategies within key vertical sectors while providing a platform for regional experts to explore a sustainable future ahead of COP28, which will take place in November 2023 at Expo City Dubai.

To mark its 30th annual event, ATM and its organiser RX Global will unveil a dedicated sustainability pledge comprising 30 goals that will inform the show’s journey towards decarbonisation. In conjunction with sustainability guidelines developed for exhibitors and delegates, this pledge will also help to ensure that this year’s edition of ATM is the most sustainable in history.

The Best Stand Awards will also feature a sustainability category for the first time. Exhibiting organisations will be recognised based on the extent to which they have considered the environmental impact of their stands, as well as their efforts to reduce their carbon footprint.

ATM 2023 is held in conjunction with Dubai World Trade Centre and its strategic partners include Dubai’s Department of Economy and Tourism (DET) as the Destination Partner, Emirates as the Official Airline Partner, IHG Hotels & Resorts as the Official Hotel Partner and Al Rais Travel as the Official DMC Partner. The show forms an integral part of Arabian Travel Week, a 10-day-long festival of travel and tourism events.

Sustainability in tourism will be the hot topic at one of the biggest events in Dubai’s conference calendar this week.

Tens of thousands are expected to gather at the Dubai World Trade Centre for the 30th annual Arabian Travel Market , which starts on Monday and runs until Thursday.

This year’s event focuses on efforts to cut carbon emissions, with those in attendance to hear from experts and industry leaders about how the sector is working towards that goal.

“My colleagues and I cannot wait to welcome participants to the 30th edition of Arabian Travel Market, which will see bring our industry together in Dubai to explore this year’s theme, Working Towards Net Zero,” said exhibition director Danielle Curtis in a statement on Wam.

“[Monday's] programme features a diverse selection of interviews and panel discussions, which will provide valuable insights as we work to build a sustainable travel industry for future generations.”

Three decades of Travel Market

The opening session will feature a panel discussion on how to tackle the issue of climate change, with Abdulla bin Touq, UAE Minister of Economy, among those offering insight.

How Big Data can benefit the tourism sector will also be up for discussion on the first day, with experts offering their views in another panel session.

The return of luxury travel will also be high on the agenda, as well as sessions focusing on markets including China, India and the GCC.

Cop28 will also loom large, with experts discussing how the tourism industry can do more to reduce its carbon emissions ahead of November’s conference.

This year’s Arabian Travel Market will attract more than 2,000 exhibitors from 150 countries, marking an increase of 27 per cent from last year.

About 34,000 visitors are expected over the four days.

The event comes as Dubai’s tourism chief said the emirate is very much on the up, despite how high inflation rates and oil prices might have affected consumer travel.

“Looking at forward bookings … we can see that demand for Dubai is going up,” said Issam Kazim, chief executive of the Dubai Department for Tourism and Commerce Marketing.

Speaking at a press conference on Thursday to launch the Arabian Travel Market conference, Mr Kazim said the industry had grown despite concerns about the global economy.

“I know that some people were concerned about the impact on discretionary disposable income, and that's the bracket that leisure travel falls into, but we've managed to see significant growth within that number as well in terms of length of stay within Dubai and also the contribution to the GDP [gross domestic product].”
