A Surge in International Participation
This year’s ATM will witness remarkable growth in participation from international regions, led by Asia, which is projected to see a 27% year-on-year increase in exhibitors. This surge in interest is attributed to enhanced regional connectivity, growing international travel links, and a stronger presence from both national tourism organizations and private sector companies. Countries like Japan, India, Thailand, and the Maldives, along with regional and city-level destinations, will play a key role in shaping the conversation at ATM 2025.
India, in particular, will stand out with a 41% increase in participation, marking a milestone in the country's expanding tourism market. The Ministry of Tourism and major Indian airlines, among others, will highlight India’s rich cultural heritage and diverse travel offerings, cementing its role as one of the fastest-growing tourism destinations globally.
Middle East on the Rise
The Middle East continues to be a region of immense growth and opportunity in the tourism sector. Saudi Arabia, in particular, will have a strong presence at ATM, with a focus on the kingdom’s ambitious giga projects and its blossoming tourism industry. As Saudi Arabia diversifies its economy and invests heavily in tourism infrastructure, the country's growing prominence in the travel market will be on full display, attracting attention from global tourism professionals, investors, and industry leaders.
In addition to Saudi Arabia, other Middle Eastern countries will also showcase their tourism offerings, contributing to a 17% increase in participation from the region. The Middle East has proven to be the best-performing region compared to pre-pandemic levels, with international arrivals rising by 32% in 2024, and the region is expected to continue its upward trajectory in 2025.
Europe, Africa, and the Americas: Steady Growth
The diversity of ATM 2025 will be reflected in its European, African, and American exhibitors.
