Attendance to ATM Dubai Trade Show

Madrid shows its best tourism attractions to the Middle East through its participation in the Arabian Travel Market of Dubai  in the Spanish Tourism Booth.

The Madrid City Council, through the Tourism Area of ​​Madrid Destino, will be present, for the sixth consecutive year, in a new edition of the Arabian Travel Market (ATM) the most important tourism trade show of the Arabian Peninsula and one of the most recognized events in Middle East.

From the 24th to the 27th of April at the Dubai International and Convention Center (UAE) this event will host 2,800 exhibitors (buyers and representatives, media and professionals from the tourism industry) of 90 different nationalities that will be visited by more than 40,000 attendees. This means an increase of 9% compared to 2016.

In this meeting the main countries of MENA (Middle East and North Africa) will be present, so for Madrid it is a great event given the existing direct air connections with the United Arab Emirates (Emirates and Etihad), Qatar (Qatar Airways) and Saudi Arabia (Saudia Airlines).

Madrid will have a table at the Tourspain booth in which the essential offer of the city, the latest news and products of more interest to the countries of the Middle East will be disseminated.

The presence of Madrid in Arabian Travel Market is a reinforcement of the promotional actions that Madrid Destino is carrying out in the Persian Gulf countries, especially two very recent familiarization trips, both from UAE and from Saudi Arabia, in which we received a total of 16 travel agents. All these actions help to reinforce the positioning of the city of Madrid as a premium tourist destination in this geographical area of ​​great strategic importance.
