Reed Travel Exhibitions, organiser of the annual Arabian Travel Market (ATM) showcase in Dubai, which will take place at the Dubai World Trade Centre from 22-25 April 2018, has announced that it will host the first ATM Student Conference \u2013 Career in Travel – as part of its line-up of special focus events.<\/p>\n

The two-hour conference, scheduled to take place on Wednesday 25th<\/sup> April in the Showcase Theatre, 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.<\/p>\n

The travel and tourism sector will continue to play a vital role in the UAE\u2019s economy, with the number of people employed in the industry to increase from 317,300 in 2016 to 394,000 in 2026, according to a World Travel and Tourism Council report. An increase in new retail, leisure and entertainment offerings will drive this growth over the next eight years.<\/p>\n

Following recent reforms and the relaxation of visa regulations, Saudi Arabia is poised to capitalise 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 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 2.5% to 781,000 by 2027.<\/p>\n

Simon Press, Senior Exhibition Director, ATM said: \u201cCareer 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.\u201d<\/p>\n
