Dubai continues to solidify its position as a global tourism hub with the 2025 edition of the Arabian Travel Market (ATM), held in alignment with the visionary national agenda “We the UAE 2031.” This flagship event brings together over 2,800 exhibitors from 166 countries and is expected to attract 55,000 attendees from across the global travel industry, including leisure, business events, luxury, and corporate travel.
His Highness toured ATM 2025 alongside high-ranking officials, including His Excellency Helal Saeed Almarri, Director General of the Dubai Department of Economy and Tourism, and His Excellency Lieutenant General Mohammed Ahmed Almarri, Director General of Dubai’s General Directorate of Identity and Foreigners Affairs. Their presence underscores the UAE’s commitment to making tourism a core driver of economic growth and national progress by 2031.
Dubai’s international appeal was further validated in 2024 through several prestigious accolades at the World Travel Awards:
- World’s Leading Exhibition Destination 2024
- World’s Leading Shopping Destination 2024
- Middle East’s Leading Destination 2024
In addition, Dubai was named:
- World’s Best MICE Destination at the World MICE Awards, affirming its leadership in business tourism, conferences, and exhibitions.
These accolades not only reinforce Dubai’s image as a premier global destination, but also reflect the success of its forward-thinking policies, world-class infrastructure, and exceptional hospitality standards.
