Reed expands Mövenpick partnership for ATM 2013

Reed Travel Exhibitions, the organiser of Arabian Travel Market (ATM), has confirmed its host hotel partnership with Mövenpick Hotels & Resorts for the 2013 event. The decision follows a successful association with flagship properties Mövenpick Ibn Battuta Gate Hotel and Mövenpick Deira this year. In total, six Mövenpick hotels, located in Dubai, will be involved in the 2013 partnership, including two properties which have yet to open. Between them, they will each host a record number of key media and industry buyers during the May 6th to 9th 2013 ATM showcase. Commenting on the announcement, Mark Walsh, portfolio director, Reed, said: “ATM 2013 is set to be a milestone event, marking 20 years in the Middle East and reinforcing our commitment to the region and our travel and tourism partners. “As a celebratory year for Reed Travel Exhibitions, the opportunity to once again partner with Mövenpick and introduce two of their latest properties to the region’s most influential industry players, offers both parties exceptional benefits. “Indeed, due to positive feedback from this year’s ATM, we will be inviting a record number of hosted delegates next year – 150 in total, up 15 per cent on 2012.” Arabian Travel Market 2013 will be held at the Dubai International Convention & Exhibition Centre in May 2013.
