Reproducing elements of both a ‘riad’ and a ‘dar’, the Moroccan stand featured a traditional townhouse with pink walls, a courtyard and a fountain, while EXPO 2020 was highly commended for its colourful and engaging stand.

The awards also covered Best Stand for Doing Business; Best Stand within the Travel Tech Show at ATM; Best Stand Feature; Best Stand Personnel; and People’s Choice Award.

Danielle Curtis, exhibition director ME, ATM, said, “Arabian Travel Market would not be the huge success it is, without the incredible amount of effort and investment that exhibitors put into creating and manning these exceptional stands at the show. Since its inception, the annual award programme has not only recognised exhibitor’s efforts but has also encouraged exciting, fresh and creative designs.”

The winners of this year’s awards were announced at a photo-call on the exhibition show floor on April 30.

Launched in 2015, the Best Stand Awards were created to recognise the design creativity and business-friendly appeal of exhibiting companies’ physical presence at ATM.
