“Hosting the six-month Expo 2020 Dubai, the largest World Expo in the history of the event, has further reinforced Dubai’s status as a hub for business, tourism and investment,” Sheikh Mohammed said.

The Arabian Travel Market, held at the Dubai World Trade Centre, opened on Monday and concludes on Thursday.

The event is considered a bellwether for the travel industry in the Middle East, offering an insight into the trends that will shape the year ahead.
