The Arabian Travel Market is celebrating its 29th edition in which the Sultanate of Oman’s Pavilion was opened to the general public at the World Trade Centre of Dubai. This occasion happened on the auspicious day of Azzan Qasim Al Busaidi. The Ministry of Heritage and Tourism organised this event to promote Tourism.
Within 200sqm, Oman Pavilion showcases the identity of Omani architectural, a tourism centre, a hospitality centre, and compartments. The space also contains a display of leaflets related to Tourism.
According to Al Busaidi, the participation of Oman is a positive sign of re-initiation of activities after the impact of the coronavirus pandemic. He added that this event would give a chance the promotion Omani products related to tourism, various tourist destinations and services. Shortly, the country will welcome the monsoon season, and hence the weather will become moderate along the hillside and Arabian Sea Coast.
This event has emphasised more on creativity, human resources and sustainability. It also focuses on various tourist markets in the Middle East. The theme of this event is ‘The future of international travel and tourism’, and this is the largest of its kind in the Middle East. Overall, 14 corners are there to participate in Omani tourism-related institutions: Hotels and resorts, travel agencies, adventure tourism agencies, Salam Air, Dhofar Municipality, Oman Chamber of Commerce and Industry’s branch in Al Buraimi Governorate, along with Visit Oman- a digital platform.
Visit Oman is a digital platform of the Sultanate of Oman. It allows tour operators and agents to access business to business marketplace, which lets them know about Oman suppliers that offer tourism services like transportation and accommodation. As everything is performed digitally, it becomes easy for travel agents and operators to use this facility.
This Arabian Travel Market 2022 was held for four days, from May 9 to May 12. The individuals who visited this place mostly belonged to the tourism sector, entrepreneurs, investors, and the region’s workers. In 2019, 39K participants became part of Arabian Travel Market.
As per the organisers, this event in 2022 will boost the business as many renowned brands and leaders have attended that show. Many motivational speakers, leaders and entrepreneurs of different sectors like travel technology, hospitality, airlines, and car rental attended the event. Although the event was held offline from May 9 to 12, ATM virtual was online on May 17 and 18.
