After following consultations with global travel industry partners and exhibitors, organisers of the Arabian Travel Market 2026 have confirmed that the event will now take place from September 14 to 17, 2026. Widely known as ATM, the annual exhibition is one of the Middle East’s largest travel and tourism events, bringing together airlines, hotel groups, tourism boards, travel technology firms and hospitality leaders from across the world.

The date change comes as parts of the UAE’s broader events sector continue adjusting schedules in response to disruptions earlier this year linked to regional tensions.

Traditionally held between April and May, the 2026 edition was rescheduled after ongoing discussions with partners across the global travel and tourism industry, organisers said.

The revised schedule is aimed at supporting stronger international participation while enhancing networking and business engagement opportunities for exhibitors, buyers and industry stakeholders attending the four-day event.

Now entering its 33rd edition, Arabian Travel Market remains a major platform for travel industry announcements, destination marketing initiatives and regional tourism partnerships.

The 2026 edition will continue under the theme Travel 2040: Driving New Frontiers Through Innovation and Technology, with conference discussions expected to focus on digital transformation, aviation innovation, traveller experience and sustainable tourism growth.

Industry experts and speakers from leading international research and strategy organisations, including, are expected to participate in the conference programme.
