Travellers used to negotiate a room rate. Now they ask a very different question: what will this experience give me?

That shift sits at the heart of Haitham Mattar's perspective. As Managing Director - South West Asia, Middle East & Africa at IHG Hotels & Resorts, he sees guest expectations moving from booking a room to choosing a moment worth remembering.

Here's what that shift looks like in practice:

🟢 Experience over accommodation. Guests are drawn by gastronomy, culture, heritage, and adventure, not just a place to stay.
🟢 Storytelling in the detail. Even an in-room amenity now carries its origin, its maker, and a reason it was chosen.
🟢 Wellness redefined. The focus is moving from lifespan to health span, reshaping menus, services, and the way hotels design every stay.

Why does it matter now? Because the brands that win won't be the ones selling rooms. They'll be the ones curating experiences that travellers genuinely value, and building teams who can create them.

This are the kinds of ideas that will shape conversations at ATM 2026.

One of the industry's biggest questions right now is: what role should AI really play as guest expectations continue to rise?

Managing Director - South West Asia, Middle East & Africa at IHG Hotels & Resorts, Haitham Mattar's answer is refreshingly clear. AI is an enabler, not a replacement.

For Mattar, the value of AI lies in how and where you use it:

🟢 Making teams more efficient, so they can focus on people.
🟢 Reducing guest burden and travel anxiety at every step.
🟢 Turning everyday moments into more memorable, more human experiences.

As the industry races to adopt new tools, the leaders who win won't be the ones with the most technology. They'll be the ones who use it to make hospitality feel more personal, not less.

That is exactly the kind of thinking shaping conversations as ATM 2026 approaches, where the world of travel does business.

Strong tourism isn't built on one good year. It's built on decades of investment, confidence, and the courage to keep evolving.

That's the message from H.E. Abdulla bin Touq Al Marri, UAE Minister of Economy and Tourism (Ministry of Economy), in his latest reflection on the UAE tourism story and what comes next.

The proof is in the numbers:

🟢 32 million hotel guests in 2025, the highest ever recorded in a single year.
🟢 110 million guest nights, with occupancy rates holding strong at 79.3%.
🟢 Hotel revenues reached AED49.2 billion.

For the Minister, these results reflect the trust people place in the UAE, and a future built on smarter coordination and deeper public-private partnership.

The next chapter of global tourism belongs to destinations that stay open, resilient, and collaborative.

You can hear more of the Minister's insights at ATM 2026, where the travel industry comes together to do business.
