The 2020 Arabian Travel Market has been cancelled, with the event set to return next year. After initially postponing the tradeshow until June, organisers have now bowed to the inevitable in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic.
A statement said, “In light of the changing global situation relating to the Covid-19 virus, we have continued to monitor the impact it is having not just on our industry, but on society in general. Many meetings took place with the Dubai World Trade Centre and we reviewed other options to organise an event in the last quarter. However, after consultation with our key stakeholders and after listening to our industry, ultimately it became apparent that the best course of action is to postpone the event to 2021.”
Following the decision, Arabian Travel Market will now be held at the Dubai World Trade Centre on May 16th-19th next year.
