Commenting, Danielle Curtis, Exhibition Director ME, Arabian Travel Market, said:
“Dubai is one of the safest cities in the world to visit with a wide range of precautionary
measures in place to ensure the safety of tourists at every stage and touchpoint of their
travel journey, from arrival to departure. More than 9 million doses have already been
administered in the UAE, which is also a major achievement.“Indeed, Dubai’s commitment to maintaining the highest standards of health and safety
and its effective citywide management of the pandemic received a strong endorsement from the World Travel and Tourism Council (WTTC), which gave the city a ‘Safe
Travels’ stamp,” she added.
The show will concentrate on the most recent “Covid” coverage’s from around the World – vaccination roll-outs, social and travel regulations and, as a result, the present state of the industry and most specifically, what the future will bring. The theme for this year’s show will be “A new dawn for tourism and travel.” It will also examine new trends and how creativity will propel the industry forward.
The well-being of the travel and tourism industry is critical to the region’s economy. Prior to the pandemic, the World Travel and Tourism Council (WTTC) estimated that travel and tourism will contribute $133.6 billion to the Middle East’s GDP by 2028.
