Reed Travel Exhibitions, organizer of the annual Arabian Travel Market (ATM) showcase in Dubai, which will take place at the Dubai World Trade Centre from 22-25 this month, has announced that it will host the first ATM Student Conference – Career in Travel – as part of its line-up of special focus events.
The two-hour conference would take place on Wednesday 25th April in the Showcase Theatre, and will feature three interactive seminar sessions including, how to gain a career in the industry, developing tourism skills and employment opportunities in travel & tourism and how to create a job in the travel and tourism industry.
The travel and tourism sector plays a vital role in the UAE’s economy, employing a sizeable portion of people. An increase in new retail, leisure and entertainment offerings will drive this growth over the next eight years.
After recent reforms and the relaxation of visa regulations, Saudi Arabia is all set to capitalize on these factors as it nurtures a vibrant leisure and entertainment sector, supported by a new generation of hotels. In 2017, travel and tourism generated 613,000 jobs in the Kingdom with this figure expected to increase.
Simon Press, Senior Exhibition Director, ATM said: “Career in Travel has been an integral part of WTM London for the last ten years. Following this success, we are proud to introduce the exclusive student conference to ATM 2018. Designed to increase student and graduate opportunities within the travel and tourism sector, the complimentary programme will allow attendees to learn from the sharpest minds in the industry.”
