The unprecedented success of ATM 2004 has provided the Middle East region with the perfect platform to truly make its mark on the world tourism map. The region continues to spend on both infrastructure and destination developments reinforcing the importance of the region as an emerging market that is set to continue well into the future. Increases in outbound visitor numbers from the Middle East from both the local and ex-pat populations, serve to reinforce the importance of the Middle East market as a viable tourism destination.

ATM 2005 will be held at it's original home at the Dubai World Trade Centre.

The importance of ATM to the Asian market is reflected by the 45% growth that the event has experienced over the last 3 years. The belief in the Middle Eastern market is illustrated by the numerous tourism boards which have opened regional offices in the United Arab Emirates and this trend is set to continue.
The stability and maturity of the European region continues to be a bedrock of solidity within the tourism industry and the recently expanded European Union will most certainly add a new and exciting dimension to ATM in the years to come
