The organisers of Arabian Travel Market (ATM) have announced that the 2026 edition of the global travel trade show has been rescheduled. Originally set to take place from 4–7 May 2026, the event will now be held from 17–20 August 2026 at the Dubai World Trade Centre, with the venue remaining unchanged.
The decision, confirmed by RX, has been taken with a focus on ensuring the safety and well-being of participants, while also providing greater flexibility and confidence for international stakeholders planning to attend.
Now in its 33rd edition, Arabian Travel Market is recognised as a key global platform for the travel and tourism industry, bringing together destinations, hospitality brands, airlines, technology providers, and travel professionals from across the world. The event continues to play a significant role in facilitating industry connections, partnerships, and business opportunities.
Commenting on the development, Danielle Curtis, Exhibition Director ME, Arabian Travel Market, highlighted the importance of maintaining a secure and accessible environment for participants. She noted that the rescheduling reflects the organisers’ commitment to ensuring a successful and inclusive gathering for the global travel community.
Organisers have indicated that they will work closely with exhibitors, partners, and stakeholders to ensure a smooth transition to the revised dates.
In recent years, ATM has demonstrated strong growth, with the previous edition attracting over 55,000 professionals from 166 countries, underlining its significance as a major international travel trade platform.
The event also features specialised segments such as the IBTM @ ATM, focusing on the MICE industry, and ATM Travel Tech, which showcases emerging technologies shaping the future of travel, including AI, virtual reality, fintech, and sustainability-driven innovations.
Arabian Travel Market 2026 is expected to continue its role as a central hub for industry dialogue, innovation, and global collaboration when it convenes in Dubai this August.
