From April 28 to May 1, 2025, the Arabian Travel Market (ATM Dubai 2025) was held at the Dubai World Trade Centre. As the most influential B2B travel exhibition in the Middle East and North Africa region, HeyTrip returned to ATM Dubai with global resources and technological capabilities. At Booth TT1155 in Hall 1, we showcased our end-to-end distribution solutions across hotels, transportation, and flights, engaging with partners from the Middle East and global markets to explore new cooperation opportunities.
In recent years, the Middle East tourism market has shown strong growth momentum, with a dual trend of booming inbound and outbound travel.
According to data from the United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO), the Middle East welcomed approximately 95 million international tourists in 2024, a 32% increase compared to 2019, demonstrating remarkable recovery vitality.
Meanwhile, the outbound tourism market of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries also showcased strong spending power — with a total market value estimated at USD 76.4 billion in 2024 and projected to grow to USD 197.99 billion by 2037, reflecting a robust annual growth rate of 7.6%.
Facing these trends, HeyTrip continues to expand its investment in the Middle East market, leveraging years of resource accumulation and technological expertise across the Asia-Pacific, Europe, and North America. By integrating global hotel, transportation, and flight resources through our platform, we empower Middle Eastern channel partners to efficiently access premium products, enhance product diversity and operational efficiency, meet the demands of outbound travelers, and better serve diverse inbound travel scenarios — gaining a stronger edge in the international market.
Following our successful participation at ITB Berlin in March, the HeyTrip team maintained its momentum at ATM Dubai. We held in-depth discussions with TMCs, DMCs, hotel groups, and other partners from the Middle East, Europe, and the Americas, focusing on business cooperation models, system integration, and market expansion strategies.
During the exhibition, multiple companies expressed clear intentions to collaborate on technology integration, resource procurement, and channel consolidation, with several projects already moving into the next phase.
Additionally, the HeyTrip booth incorporated distinctive Middle Eastern design elements, creating a highly localized visual identity that resonated with the regional aesthetic and cultural atmosphere, further enhancing our brand affinity in the Middle East market.
As the global travel industry enters a new phase of full recovery, technology-driven solutions and resource integration have become crucial to improving efficiency and connecting international markets.
HeyTrip will continue to deepen its presence in the Middle East, strengthen its global resource network, and provide partners with more robust and competitive supply chain support and technical services — jointly exploring new growth pathways for the future.
