The Arabian Travel Market 2026 is scheduled from May 4 – May 7, 2026 at Dubai World Trade Centre, one of the largest global travel & tourism events in the Middle East.
With 47,000+ to 55,000+ industry professionals, 2,600+ exhibitors, and participants from 160+ countries, ATM continues to be a major global business platform.
Why It Matters for Real Estate
1. The event facilitates multi-billion-dollar tourism & hospitality deals (≈ $2.5B in previous editions)
2. Reinforces Dubai’s position as a global tourism hub, driving long-term property demand
3. Boosts hotel investments, branded residences & holiday home markets
4. With tourism in the Middle East projected to grow ~7% annually till 2030, demand for real estate tied to tourism will continue rising
In Dubai, tourism growth doesn’t stay in hotels.
It flows directly into real estate.
