Now in its 33rd edition, ATM continues to serve as a key global platform connecting destinations, airlines, hospitality brands, travel suppliers and technology companies from across the tourism industry.
ATM 2026 will be held under the theme “Travel 2040: Driving New Frontiers Through Innovation and Technology”, focusing on the trends and technologies shaping the future of global travel.

The conference programme will feature tourism leaders, economists and technology specialists discussing major industry developments, including destination resilience, aviation innovation, traveller behaviour and digital transformation.
Among the confirmed speakers are representatives from Tourism Economics, an Oxford Economics company, and Euromonitor, alongside researchers and strategists specialising in travel technology and market trends.
The event is expected to attract thousands of travel professionals and exhibitors from around the world, reinforcing Dubai’s position as a global hub for tourism industry dialogue, innovation and collaboration.
