A Memorable Experience at Arabian Travel Market 2024
I had an amazing experience attending the wonderfully organized Travel & Tourism Exhibition: the Arabian Travel Market 2024 in Dubai.
This event, renowned as a critical fixture in the travel industry calendar, was an exceptional opportunity to explore the latest trends, innovations, and business partnerships in the global tourism sector.
The event’s sheer scale was impressive and a testament to the global community, which is the travel and tourism industry. With 2,300 exhibitors from 165 countries, the exhibition hall was a vibrant hub of energy and ideas. It was a place where industry professionals, united by a shared passion, gathered to showcase their offerings, discuss new ideas, and forge meaningful connections.
My team and I had an incredibly productive time exploring business-to-business partnerships with other giants in the travel industry. We delved into numerous discussions about potential collaborations to elevate our offerings and expand our reach. One of the highlights was meeting fellow industry experts and sharing insights on navigating the ever-evolving landscape of global tourism.

We were thrilled to meet the honorable Ambassador of the Kingdom of Belgium to the United Arab Emirates, H.E Mr. ANOTINE DELCOURT, at the Belgium pavilion. His humbleness and visionary approach to developing his country through diplomatic efforts left a lasting impression on us.
Accompanying him was H.E Mr. JOREN SELLESLAGHS, the Deputy Head of Mission of Belgium, along with other officials from Belgium. We offered assistance in promoting sports tourism in Belgium, an initiative that we believe will showcase the country’s talent to the world.

Our founder, CEO, and renowned Sports Journalist, Mr. JAMEEL HASSAN, also had the privilege of exchanging Contacts with the Honorable Ambassador and the Deputy Head of Mission of Belgium.
In addition to our interactions with the Belgium delegation, we had fruitful discussions with giants from various industry pavilions.
We explored future potential partnerships with leading entities such as Etihad Airways PJSC, The Emirates Group, VFS Global, and the tourism department heads of Egypt and Georgia. We also engaged with representatives from the International Air Transport Association (IATA), which could lead to exciting collaborations and innovations in the travel sector.
The Arabian Travel Market 2024 was a hub of opportunity and inspiration, setting a high standard for the future of global travel and tourism.
The 31st edition drew over 33,000 attendees from more than 160 nations, significantly increasing from the previous year. This surge in participation highlights the enduring strength and expansion of the global travel and tourism industry. The atmosphere was electric, with industry experts engaging in discussions that could shape the future of travel.
In keeping with ATM 2024’s theme of “Empowering Innovation: Transforming Travel Through Entrepreneurship,” the event, held at the Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC), brought together over 2,600 exhibitors. These participants explored future opportunities in the global tourism sector and investigated the factors driving industry growth. One notable moment was InterLnkd’s victory in the ATM Start-up Pitch Battle, showcasing how innovative ideas link travel with other retail, fashion, and beauty sectors.
The event also saw the Executive Council of Dubai, presided over by His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, approve significant transit and tourism-related projects. These initiatives align with His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum’s vision to further cement Dubai’s status as a global hub for travel and commerce.
