ATM 2021: Top travel and tourism players convene in Dubai to map future of industry

Global aviation and tourism players are gathering this week at the Arabian Travel Market in Dubai to map out the industry's post-pandemic recovery, highlight the latest technologies shaping the future of travel and discuss sustainability initiatives.

Globally, air travel is recovering only sporadically as vaccine campaigns progress at an uneven pace and governments tighten border rules to curb Covid-19 virus flare-ups.

A faster travel rebound will hinge on rapid vaccine distribution, key markets re-opening their borders to international travellers, investments in digital technologies, affordable PCR tests and greener operations, analysts say.
