Mideast emerges as global business events powerhouse: report
Investment, ambition and diversification are at the heart of the Middle East's flourishing business events market, reveals the latest Regional Trends Report from IBTM World. Projecting the region as 'one to watch', the much-anticipated report, unveiled at day three of Arabian Travel Market, takes a deep dive into the growing power of this fast-emerging business events destination in the global MICE industry. From renewables to fintech and telecoms to space travel, growth is being nurtured in both new and existing industries, with businesses and brands in the UAE, Saudi Arabia and Qatar at the forefront of this. As business grows, infrastructure is being built at breakneck speed to house the many meetings and events needed to support it. Talent from around the world is also following suit, with a new business or venue, as well as new infrastructure, opening every day in the Middle East. Alongside geo-adapted supply chains and a culturally creative offering, this is why some of the most impressive event brands in the world are making the thriving region their home. Written by Managing Director of Eight PR & Marketing, Alistair Turner, the inaugural report also sheds light on the return of face-to-face events in the Middle East. In a business culture where in-person interactions are highly valued, around 70 per cent of meetings in the region now take place face-to-face, with just 30 per cent happening virtually or in a hybrid format. Claudia Hall, IBTM World Exhibition Director, said: 'As the Middle East continues to entice event planners with evermore innovative and exciting opportunities, we're delighted to be able to provide event professionals with a snapshot of this exhilarating, dynamic and thriving region. It's important event professionals understand the landscape they're operating in, and this report does just that – giving them the knowledge and context they need to navigate everything the pioneering Middle Eastern events sector has to offer, and the contribution it can make to a flourishing business events industry of the future.' -TradeArabia News Service

Worldwide air cargo tonnages up 6% in April
Preliminary air cargo figures for April indicate that worldwide tonnages for the month were up by +6%, year on year (YoY), driven by a +10% YoY increase from Asia Pacific origins, as US importers adjust to big changes in China-US trade rules. According to the latest figures from WorldACD market data, chargeable weight in April was up, YoY, from all of the main world origin regions – with the exception of Middle East & South Asia (MESA), where tonnages were flat. Alongside +10% YoY growth from Asia Pacific origins, there were increases of +7% from Central & South America (CSA), +5% from North America, +3% from Africa, and +2% from Europe. The YoY weight increase of +6% in April follows an increase of +4% in March, and +2% increase for Q1 2025. This makes for a tonnage increase in the first four months of 2025 of +3% compared with the same period in 2024. Compared with March, tonnages in April were down from all the main regions except CSA, which achieved a +16% month-on-month (MoM) rise. Meanwhile, there were MoM declines from Europe (-10%), MESA (-12%), North America (-7%), and Asia Pacific (-5%). Overall worldwide rates in April of $2.43 per kilo, based upon a full-market average of spot rates and contract rates, were stable compared with the previous month and the previous year. Significant YoY variations included a +7% increase from Africa origins and a -14% drop from MESA, from where rates last year were inflated because of the Red Sea shipping disruptions. Amid the current uncertainty of global markets, and the lead-up to the end of 'de minimis' exemptions from May 2 for US imports from China, worldwide tonnages in the final full week of April (week 17, 21 to 27 April) held firm, buoyed by a +19% WoW increase from CSA due to the annual surge in Mother's Day flower shipments. Other highlights included a +4% WoW (and YoY) increase in MESA origin shipments, and a +3% WoW increase from Asia Pacific, taking tonnages from that key region +6% higher than in April 2024. But average rates from Asia Pacific in week 17 edged downwards by a further -1%, WoW, taking them slightly below (-1%) their level this time last year, based on the more than 500,000 weekly transactions covered by WorldACD's data. China to USA volatility Spot rates from Asia Pacific saw a small further decline (-2%, WoW) in week 17 to $3.67 per kilo, but they remain up +3% on week 17 last year. After four consecutive weeks of WoW tonnage declines from China and Hong Kong to the USA, and from Asia-Pacific as a whole to the US, tonnages increased slightly in week 17 (+1% WoW for China and Hong Kong, and +3% WoW for Asia-Pacific). But compared with this time last year, tonnages from China and Hong Kong to the USA were -15% lower in week 17. - TradeArabia News Service
