Event rescheduled to 17–20 August to give the global travel and tourism industry more certainty ahead of the show
RX has announced that Arabian Travel Market (ATM) 2026 will move from its original May dates to 17–20 August at Dubai World Trade Centre. The event was previously scheduled for 4–7 May.
The organiser made the decision to reschedule in order to protect the safety of attendees, partners and staff, and to give the wider travel and tourism industry more confidence to plan their participation.
Now in its 33rd year, ATM is an established international trade show that brings together destinations, travel suppliers, hospitality brands, airlines, technology providers and industry professionals from across the travel sector.
Danielle Curtis, Exhibition Director ME, Arabian Travel Market, said: “Arabian Travel Market has long served as a vital platform for bringing the global travel and tourism community together in Dubai, enabling destinations, suppliers and industry leaders to connect, collaborate and shape the future of the sector.
“The safety and well-being of our customers, partners and colleagues remains our highest priority, and the decision to reschedule ATM 2026 to August reflects our commitment to ensuring that everyone can participate at this important industry gathering. We look forward to welcoming the international travel community back to Dubai later this year.”
ATM takes place in Dubai each year, drawing on the city’s transport links to bring together travel professionals from around the world. The show includes forums, on-floor experiences and networking opportunities across the travel and tourism sector.
In recent years, ATM has grown 16 per cent year-on-year, with more than 55,000 travel professionals attending from 166 countries.
