Dhaka: Saudi Arabia’s Future Hospitality Summit (FHS), a leading hospitality investment event, will return to Riyadh for its 9th edition, taking place from 20 to 22 April 2026 at the Mandarin Oriental Al Faisaliah.

The summit continues to play a vital role in the Kingdom’s Vision 2030 plan to transform Saudi Arabia into a global tourism hub.

The 2025 edition attracted over 1,100 global investors and decision-makers, with significant announcements, including 11 major hotel signings. In total, USD 1.6 billion in business opportunities were reported, further cementing FHS as the region’s top deal-making platform.

With Vision 2030 aiming to add over 362,000 hotel rooms by 2030, FHS serves as a key driver in the Kingdom’s tourism growth.

The 2026 summit will focus on the theme “Where Opportunity Meets Capital,” bringing together industry leaders to explore investment opportunities, market trends, and strategic development.

A key highlight of the event will be the growing importance of homegrown Saudi hospitality brands, aligned with the Kingdom’s efforts to diversify its economy and create unique, locally-driven tourism experiences.

FHS 2026 is set to provide vital insights and collaboration opportunities to support Saudi Arabia’s rapid rise as a global tourism powerhouse.
