The Emirates stand is one of the popular exhibits that visitors are flocking to see at this year’s Arabian Travel Market in Dubai.
The Emirates rotating globe stands at 9.5 metres high and has a circumference of 65 metres, which is split into three zones – Al Maha Desert Resort & Spa, Wolgan Valley Resort & Spa and Emirates Airline’s products and services.
The Dubai-based carrier says it remains committed to delivering value to its customers and supporting the growth of tourism in Dubai and the UAE.
Speaking to Travel Daily at ATM in Dubai yesterday, EK’s divisional senior vp, commercial operations worldwide, Richard Vaughan (pictured above), said all of the airline’s routes are growing in popularity, in particular its new flights to Amsterdam launched last Sat, which departed completely full.

The two-hour cruise included a sightseeing tour of Dubai, accompanied by a buffet Middle Eastern style dinner and live entertainment.
“The Dhow cruise is a popular activity for our clients because it’s a great way to see the major Dubai landmarks in a relaxing environment”, Louise Murray from House of Travel NZ told TD.
