Arabian Travel Market will debut ATM Travel Tech as a fully co-located event at its 2026 edition, underscoring the growing influence of technology in reshaping global travel. The new platform will run from 4 to 7 May 2026 at the Dubai World Trade Centre.
Spanning two dedicated halls, ATM Travel Tech will align with the overarching theme of ATM 2026, “Travel 2040: Driving New Frontiers Through Innovation and Technology.” The event will spotlight advancements in artificial intelligence, immersive commerce, mobility, fintech, sustainability, and cybersecurity, showcasing how these innovations are redefining the way journeys are planned, booked, and experienced.
Organisers expect more than 180 exhibitors from 30 countries, alongside hundreds of startups and scale-ups, to present breakthroughs in automation, payments, and next-generation customer engagement. The centerpiece will be the Tech & Innovation Hub, covering 850 square metres and featuring immersive zones, demonstrations, and interactive experiences designed to highlight cutting-edge solutions across the travel technology ecosystem.
Danielle Curtis, Exhibition Director ME at Arabian Travel Market, said the decision to expand ATM Travel Tech reflects the industry’s rapid evolution.
“As travel technology evolves at an unprecedented pace, we have evolved the scale, ecosystem and offering of ATM Travel Tech to a fully co-located event,”
she noted.
The move comes as the global travel technology market continues to expand, valued at US$10.7 billion in 2024 and projected to reach $18.6 billion by 2033, according to Research and Markets.
Now in its 33rd year, Arabian Travel Market is one of the world’s leading gatherings for travel and tourism, drawing more than 55,000 professionals from 166 countries and featuring over 2,800 exhibitors across all sectors.
