The Maldives will be represented at Arabian Travel Market (ATM) 2024, the premier international event for the Middle East’s inbound and outbound travel industry, which will take place from May 6th 2024 to May 9th 2024, at the Dubai World Trade Centre, according to a statement released by Maldives Marketing and Public Relations Corporation (MMPRC/Visit Maldives).
Before reserving a booth, an announcement inviting expressions of interest for ATM 2024 was distributed to gauge the total number of firms interested in attending. The objective of Visit Maldives is to provide a venue for industry partners to showcase their unique goods and experiences, while also providing chances for all interested parties to participate in the fair.
The Maldives has always had the Middle Eastern market as a strong source market. Since the Maldives was one of the few nations with open borders during the global pandemic, 2021 was noted as the year with the most arrivals from the Middle East. Even with the liberalisation of international borders, the Middle East remains a significant focus market. More than 78,966 visitors from the Middle East arrived in the Maldives in 2023 and with MMPRC at ATM 2024, who knows what sort of positive influence this will have on the tourism landscape for Maldives.
Before 12:00 on Tuesday, January 23, 2024, interested travel industry businesses can register their interest via the Google form (Expression of Interest for ATM 2024) in order to participate in this event with Visit Maldives. Please be aware that a different participation circular will be distributed at a later time.
