The Maldives Marketing and Public Relations Corporation (MMPRC), has announced its participation in the Arabian Travel Market (ATM) 2024. This premier travel event is set to take place from 6th to 9th May 2024 at the Dubai World Trade Center in the United Arab Emirates.
ATM 2024 is a leading global event, pivotal for both inbound and outbound travel sectors in the Middle East. It presents a vital platform for industry partners to showcase their products and experiences. Visit Maldives is committed to offering opportunities to all interested parties, facilitating a venue for them to promote their individual offerings.
The Middle Eastern market has been historically significant for the Maldives. Notably, during the global pandemic, the year 2021 saw the highest number of tourist arrivals from the Middle East. This surge was attributed to the Maldives being one of the few countries that kept its borders open. With the reopening of international borders, the Middle East continues to be a focus market. In 2023, the Maldives welcomed over 78,966 tourists from this region, underlining its importance.
Tourism companies interested in participating alongside Visit Maldives in this event are invited to express their interest through a designated Google form titled “Expression of Interest for ATM 2024.” The deadline for submissions is set for 12:00 hours on Tuesday, 23rd January 2024. It is important to note that a separate circular regarding participation will be disseminated at a later date.
This participation in ATM 2024 is part of the Maldives’ ongoing efforts to strengthen its position as a leading tourist destination, particularly in the Middle Eastern market.
