True to the forum’s new slogan, “Reigniting the Travel Industry,” ATM Dubai 2022 witnessed record-breaking numbers and strong vibes for the future of Hospitality, travel, and tourism. The show had more than 23,000 visitors and 1,500 exhibitors to share insights into the future of international travel and tourism.

All recognized the importance of the forum as an ideal platform for promoting the company and the announcement of the company expansion plan in the Middle East and North Africa.
