Daniel Rosado, Director, Spain Tourism shared, “In this edition of Arabian Travel Market, we have about 30 partners that came to Dubai to promote their different products. We have destinations, DMCs, hotels and shopping experiences and this year we are focusing on the 4 Balearic Islands Mallorca, Menorca, Ibiza and Formentera and for the first time Mallorca is participating with us to showcase their diverse offerings to the GCC clientele and global partners. Arabian Travel Market becomes the perfect platform to connect, network and seal business deals, apart from listening to the buyers and their clientele and the many requirements they have so that our partners (exhibitors) can tailor make solutions according to their many requirements.”

Namratha Rose, Manager, Marketing & Trade Relations, Spain Tourism, reiterated, “The Arabian Travel Market (ATM) is pivotal for all exhibitors, especially destinations, hotels and DMCs offering a platform to showcase their offerings and for partners to forge valuable connections. This year, ATM saw increased interest from agents eager to learn about and connect with new destinations and suppliers from Spain. In line with this, Granada Tourism hosted an insightful presentation and lunch for travel trade professionals, while Mallorca Tourism organised an event to thank stakeholders. These initiatives underscored the importance of ATM in promoting Spain and strengthening partnerships within the travel industry.”
