The four-day trade event – Arabian Travel Market (ATM) 2014 – closed with visitor numbers crossing 23,000, up by over 2,100 or more than 10% on 2013 figures. The show accommodated over 2,700 exhibitors with 120 first-time participants, 68 national pavilions and 40 seminar and tech theatre sessions.
Independently ABC-audited, ATM 2014 had already recorded an eight percent increase in exhibitors compared with 2013.
“Re-bookings for 2015 are already extremely encouraging. We also have number creative ideas as to how we will develop our strategic offering for next year to continue our growth pattern in line with regional development,” said Mark Walsh, portfolio director, Reed Travel Exhibitions.
Main stand holder numbers also grew by 10 % to 420, including new exhibiting destinations such as Taiwan and Slovenia. Many made their debut this year – Kuwait Airways, IMG World of Adventures and Al-Futtaim Travel LLC.
