The Global Tourism Forum Annual Meeting 2026 will bring together the international tourism community in Brussels on 26–27 October 2026. Hosted at the Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium, the two-day gathering is set to welcome more than 2,000 high-level delegates, positioning Brussels at the centre of global conversations on the future of tourism.

Organised by the World Tourism Forum Institute, the Global Tourism Forum connects government representatives, tourism industry leaders, businesses and academia. The 2026 Annual Meeting is expected to attract an especially high-level audience, including at least five Heads of State and dozens of government ministers, alongside senior decision-makers and representatives from across the international tourism sector.

Across two days, the meeting will provide a platform for dialogue, international cooperation and new partnerships, bringing public- and private-sector perspectives together around the opportunities and challenges shaping global tourism. The programme will be complemented by a highly exclusive exhibition area limited to ten booths, creating further opportunities for participating organisations to showcase initiatives and connect with an influential international audience.

With Euronews as the official global media partner, the Annual Meeting is designed to extend these conversations beyond Brussels and reach audiences internationally. By convening political leaders, tourism stakeholders, experts and institutions in one place, the Global Tourism Forum Annual Meeting 2026 aims to strengthen cooperation and contribute to shaping the next chapter of the global tourism industry.
