Expo Dubai signs up more than 2,500 authorised ticket resellers
More than 2,500 online travel agents, tour operators, hotel groups and airlines have signed up as authorised ticket resellers (ATRs) for Expo 2020 Dubai.
Spread across key markets, from 100-plus countries, the ATRs will offer inclusive travel packages for international visitors to experience the rescheduled Expo 2020 which takes place between 1 October 2021 and 31 March 2022.
The activated reseller networks in target markets will be instrumental in facilitating travel to the first World Expo in the Middle East, Africa and South Asia (MEASA) region.
Sumathi Ramanathan, Vice President, Market Strategy & Sales, Expo 2020 Dubai, said: "Expo 2020 Dubai is less than five months away from gathering the world for a global celebration of human ingenuity – one that promises an extraordinary experience for visitors of all ages, nationalities and interests."
"We are delighted to have significantly grown the number of ATRs signed with Expo, more than doubling the figure since before the onset of the pandemic."
The announcement at ATM follows the successful face-to-face gathering of delegates from 173 of Expo’s 190-plus participating countries at the sixth and final International Participants Meeting earlier this month.
Earlier this year, Expo 2020 also welcomed more than 100,000 visitors for a preview experience of Terra – The Sustainability Pavilion.
