What the exhibitors say...

A selection of exhibitors share their goals and ambitions for this year’s show

GOLDEN GATEWAYS TRAVELS

“This is our first time exhibiting at ATM. We are excited to be part of the event’s 30th edition and are looking forward to connecting with all the participants. While we are a young and dynamic travel business start-up, we pride ourselves in our highly talented and experienced team members that come from diverse business backgrounds. At the show, we will be highlighting our bouquet of services, which includes hotel reservations, transportation, sightseeing tours, visas, planning and management for business and leisure events, cruises as well as other unique and personalised experiences.”

AGATA MIKULOVA Executive Director

TRNAVA REGIONAL TOURISM BOARD

“We have introduced the Taste of Slovakia package, which we will promote at ATM. It includes two days in the Slovak capital of Bratislava, five days in the Trnava region and three days among the northern mountains, as well as two days in neighbouring Vienna. The experience will take guests to the famous spa town of Piešťany, which has been attracting visitors from the Middle East. We are hoping to showcase the development of this town during the event, in addition to the surrounding region, which boasts castles, lakes, activities in nature and shopping venues.”

Intercontinental Ras Al Khaimah

“ATM is one of the most important shows on our calendar. Everyone who is doing business with this region is present at the event. It offers such an amazing opportunity to reconnect with industry partners and make new connections. In line with IHG’s ‘Journey to Tomorrow’, we strive to make a positive difference to our local communities while preserving the beauty and diversity of our pristine environment. We are proud to be at the heart of a community that places a strong emphasis on solidarity, sustainability and charity.”

RAFFLES LONDON AT THE OWO

“I’m looking forward to introducing Raffles London at The OWO, which will open later this summer, at Arabian Travel Market this year. Formerly referred to as The Old War Office, it is now known as The OWO and has undergone a monumental transformation worth US$1.9 billion. It will be home to Raffles London at The OWO, comprising 120 rooms and suites. Nine restaurants and three bars, including three dining experiences by the acclaimed Michelinstarred chef Mauro Colagreco, will sit alongside Guerlain’s first spa in the UK, set over four floors.”

“At ATM, we want to achieve our goal of making sports events more accessible to the travel industry. Our team specialises in creating unique events, from massive fan events to once-in-a-lifetime experiences for corporate groups. With our business-to-business ticketing platform, which we will showcase at ATM this year, we enable travel agencies from around the world to buy tickets to the biggest sporting events in the world. ATM is an amazing opportunity for us to meet new people and speak about our platform to a lot of different parties.”

DÜSSELDORF

“It is great to be back with a big booth at the most important tourism fair in Middle East and Asia. Last year’s edition of ATM was a massive success for us at Düsseldorf Tourism Board. With this year’s event, I hope, above all else, that the industry comes together to further generate positive impulses for our sector. And with our presence this year, I am looking forward to Düsseldorf being placed more strongly in the GCC region and covering the needs of our customers and partners.”

“We are honoured to be a part of this year’s ATM. Sheraton Maldives Full Moon Resort & Spa saw a full renovation in 2019. The upgraded facilities are further enhanced by beautiful landscaping that showcases the island’s rich tropical heritage. We take pride in our sustainability efforts, including the acclaimed coral propagation project and osmosis water filtration plant. We look forward to welcoming a new wave of travellers from the Middle East to our resort.”

NARA

“As a leading global platform for travel and tourism, ATM offers a formidable opportunity to connect with industry leaders and promote travel within the region. We are honoured to participate and showcase Nara Desert Escape, our elegant and sustainable collection of desert camps, restaurants and experiences that embody the concept of authentic and experiential travel. Sharing the knowledge and beauty of the Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve on an international scale permits tourists to experience Dubai’s stunning nature.”
