Organisers of Arabian Travel Market (ATM), Reed Travel Exhibitions have announced the postponement of the event to June later in the year due to the present global coronavirus scourge.

ATM 2020 which is billed to take place at the Dubai World Trade Centre, UAE was initially scheduled for April 19 – 22. According to the press release from Reed Travel Exhibitions, the new date for the Arabian Travel Market (ATM) is 28th June – 1st July 2020.

It will be recalled that only last week, the biggest travel trade show in the world, ITB Berlin was cancelled due to the coronavirus plague.

Please see below for the full details of the press release from Reed Exhibitions on ATM 2020…

We at Arabian Travel Market want to express our concern for everyone impacted by coronavirus. Like all of you, we have carefully monitored the global health crisis related to COVID-19 coronavirus. Our top priority is the health and safety of everyone involved in Arabian Travel Market; employees, partners, customers and exhibitors.

Due to the escalation of the COVID-19 epidemic around the world, after consultation with all our stakeholders, the venue management, supporting associations, and in alignment with the advice from the UAE public health authorities regarding travel to and from impacted countries, we have taken the decision to postpone our event which was due to take place on 19 – 22 April 2020 in Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC).

Whilst the UAE is following the strictest medical and hygiene protocols in line with international standards, we have made this decision in the best interest of the industry to enable us to organise an event which provides effective participation and experience for all. The announcement has been made at the earliest opportunity to give as much notice as possible to all stakeholders enabling them to make the necessary arrangements to reschedule their plans.

We are fully aware of the important role that ATM 2020 plays for industry professionals across the Middle East region and beyond, we are grateful for the full endorsement that we have received from our customers and partners.

Moving forward, we are continuing to liaise directly with all relevant United Arab Emirates and Dubai authorities on a regular basis, whilst monitoring and complying with the World Health Organisation guidance, and rest assured we will keep you informed of any new developments as we receive them.

Our thoughts are with all those affected in these difficult times.

If you require further information, please do not hesitate to contact our customer service team.
