The Cyprus Hotel Summit & HORECA Expo returns in December 2026 at a defining moment for global tourism and hospitality. As geopolitical instability, climate pressure, shifting traveller behaviour and technological disruption reshape the global tourism landscape, hospitality is entering a new era—one where resilience, connectivity, adaptability and long-term strategic thinking are becoming essential.
Against this backdrop, Cyprus stands at a pivotal moment. Positioned at the crossroads of Europe, the Middle East and the Mediterranean, the country has the opportunity to strengthen its role as a dynamic, internationally connected tourism and hospitality destination in an increasingly competitive and uncertain environment.
Now firmly established as one of the leading hospitality and tourism forums in the Eastern Mediterranean, the Summit brings together hospitality leaders, investors, airlines, policymakers, innovators and strategic partners to explore the forces shaping the industry through 2030 and beyond.
FACTS AND FIGURES
THE CONFERENCE
This year’s theme “Hospitality 2030: Reinvention, Resilience & Responsible Growth” reflects the industry’s transition into a more complex and transformative decade.
