Amadeus welcomed global aviation leaders to Dubai to discuss next phase of innovation

- More than 250 senior representatives from the tourism industry gathered in Dubai as sector regains growth trajectory

Tourism in the Middle East is on the fast track to recovery. New research from Phocuswright suggests the sector has a “bright future”; well-defined tourism strategies, mega project investments, the development of premium aviation hubs and the organization of world-class events are just some of the positive trends driving the market. At the same time, an economic impact report from the World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC) finds the tourism sector in the region is expected to create nearly 3.6 million new jobs over the next decade.

Due to this positive picture and to Amadeus’ commitment to its customers in the Middle East, the tech giant chose the region to welcome more than 250 industry leaders from across the globe to Altitude 22. The event showcased the opportunities this new era of travel will bring. Formerly known as the annual Airlines Executive Summit (AES), the event returned following a two-year hiatus in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Over two days at the Hyatt Regency Dubai Creek Heights, key decision makers, technology partners, industry associations and media discussed how the industry can drive business success
