The 2026 edition of the Arabian Travel Market 2026 has been rescheduled to take place from August 17 to 20, instead of its original May dates.

The event will still be held at the Dubai World Trade Centre.

Why the change?

Organisers said the decision was made to prioritise the safety and well-being of attendees, while also giving global participants more confidence and flexibility to attend.

The move is expected to support stronger international participation from across the travel and tourism sector.
