Wrapping up four days of travel trade business, Reed Travel Exhibitions, the organiser of Arabian Travel Market (ATM) 2012, reported a healthy increase in visitor numbers, driven by the show's renewed B2B focus and buoyed by positive indicators from the region's tourism sector. The 2011 event attracted over 16,000 trade visitors and indicators for this year show an increase of between 7-10%. The event also recorded a 7% increase in exhibitors for this year's edition, with more than 21,000 square metres of floor space hosting over 2400 exhibitors and 82 new companies. Airline participants included the likes of Qatar Airways, Etihad, flydubai, RAK Airways, Nasair, Emirates, Bahrain Air, Royal Jordanian, and Middle East Airlines (MEA). Photos: Verko Ignjatovic (ITP)
