DUBAI, UAE – June 25, 2025 – As the UAE continues to cement its reputation as a global epicenter for both corporate and luxury leisure travel, UTRAVEL is highlighting a significant recognition received at the Arabian Travel Market (ATM) 2025.

This accolade celebrates their pivotal leadership and the company’s vital role in the sector’s transformation.
This recognition comes as the GCC travel industry experiences unprecedented momentum, driven by surging demand for bespoke luxury holidays and the growing “bleisure” trend, where business and leisure travel seamlessly intersect.
