The luxury tourism sector will be the highlight of the Arabian travel market (ATM) this year, scheduled in Dubai from April 28 to May 1.
When gathering first level hospitality brands, influential industry figures and innovative travel destinations, the event will show the latest trends and ideas that shape the high -end travel segment.
ATM 2025: Luxury approach
Danielle Curtis, director of exhibition, ME, Arabian Travel Markets, said that incoming tourism of Asia and the growing wealth in this region create a great opportunity for tourism in the Middle East, especially in the luxury sector.
“In ATM, Asia is among our fastest growing markets for exhibitors, with a 27 percent increase in exhibitors in the region this year,” he said.
Curtis said that national tourist organizations of destinations such as Japan, Maldives, South Korea, India and Thailand are promoting this growth, along with regional tourist joints such as Rajasthan Tourism, Goa Kong and Jakuture 2025 and the growing focus on luxury trips.
He said that the Mena region continues to establish the rhythm of luxury outgoing trips, which makes it a priority market for high -end travel and tourism suppliers.
“The 2025 will sacrifice the in -depth knowledge of luxury travel preferences, network opportunities with key stakeholders and presentations on emerging destinations.
“For anyone looking for capitalization in this lucrative market, atm 2025 is an unmissable event,” Curtis said.
The ATM 2025 will bring together the main hospitality executives and luxury travel experts, who will share information about the latest industry trends.
It will also have some of the best qualified luxury destinations in the world such as the Maldives and Mauricio, as well as Peru, who will return to the ATM after ten years.
Visitors will be able to discover the luxury offers of the country, including glamping in the ICA desert and the Sacred Valley, Amazon’s luxury cruises and training trips in the Andes, where the impressive landscapes meet the world -class service.
Several prestigious hospitality brands, including Oriental Mandarin, Four Seasons Hotels & Resorts, Jumeirah International, One & Only, Kempinski Hotels, the hotels and steering resorts and the main hotels in the world will also be exhibited.
Luxury trips are transforming into terms of consumer preferences, and travelers prioritize more and more cultural, artistic and adventure experiences.
GCC leads luxury tourism
Hospitality brands worldwide are adapting to meet this demand, while sustainability has become a key approach, partly in the CCG, where hotels are implementing ecological initiatives to align with the growing preference.
The GCC region is ideally positioned to serve high network travelers looking for leading hotels and exclusive experiences.
To meet the growing demand, CCG countries are on their way to add 400,000 hotel rooms by 2030, after the addition of 35,000 rooms in the last decade.
According to McKinsey and Company, the demand for luxury and hospitality tourism is expected to grow faster than any other industry.
This is due to the growing number of high -network people worldwide and an increasing segment of luxury travelers willing to assign larger proportions of their income to premium experiences.
It is projected that the tourism and luxury hospitality market, estimated at $ 239 billion in 2023, will reach $ 391 billion by 2028, with Asia gaining significant land in the market segment.
Supporting this trend, the data recently issued by the Statistical Center for the Gulf the Arab Cooperation Council revealed that the CCG states obtained more than $ 110 billion in income from international tourism in 2023.
Most tourists came from the Asia and Pacific region (38 percent), followed by the Middle East (25.1 percent), Europe (22.9 percent) and Africa (8.8 percent).
