The total tourism spend in the Middle East by 2030 will be 50 per cent higher than in 2024, generating expenditure of nearly $350 billion, according to a new report compiled by Tourism Economics on behalf of Arabian Travel Market (ATM).
The ATM Travel Trends Report 2025 reveals insights into the trends and transformations redefining the travel sector in the Middle East and worldwide, including the surge of business travel, the growth of the luxury segment, and the boom in regional sports tourism.
The report highlights exceptional growth in Middle East travel spending, projected to exceed 2019 levels by 54pc this year and anticipates an annual growth rate of over 7pc from 2025 to 2030.
Danielle Curtis, exhibition director ME, Arabian Travel Market, said: “The report’s findings confirm that travel growth in the Middle East is incredibly strong, with annual growth averaging more than 7pc through 2030. Bold national visions, game-changing developments, and enhanced connectivity are some of the key factors driving this momentum.”
