Future Hospitality Summit — Saudi Arabia 2026
About the event
The Future Hospitality Summit Saudi Arabia is the Kingdom's leading hotel investment platform, bringing together institutional investors, developers, giga-project delivery teams, hotel operators and senior government officials for three days at the Mandarin Oriental Al Faisaliah in Riyadh from 22 to 24 June 2026. Now in its ninth consecutive year in the Kingdom, FHS Saudi Arabia is built around the conviction that serious investment decisions are driven by direct access to the right counterparties, making the Investor Lounge — a curated private meeting space reserved for qualified investment mandates — one of its most valued formats alongside keynote programming, roundtables and sector-specific working sessions. The summit covers the full spectrum of Saudi hospitality investment including branded residences, secondary cities, giga-project hotel components and mixed-use masterplans, positioning attendees at the intersection of Vision 2030's multi-trillion transformation pipeline and the international institutional capital seeking to participate in it. Delegates include developers, institutional hotel investors, banks, family offices, hotel management companies and senior government representatives overseeing hospitality strategy across the Kingdom.
Professionals should attend this summit to gain unparalleled insights into the Kingdom's rapidly evolving hospitality landscape, which is a cornerstone of Saudi Vision 2030's economic diversification goals. The event provides a unique opportunity to network with key decision-makers from giga-projects like NEOM, the Red Sea Project, and Diriyah Gate, as well as senior officials from the Ministry of Tourism and the Saudi Tourism Authority. Typical topics covered include financing models for large-scale developments, strategies for attracting international hotel brands, the integration of technology and sustainability in hospitality, and the development of secondary city tourism hubs. Attendees will gain actionable knowledge on navigating regulatory frameworks, understanding investment incentives, and identifying emerging opportunities in the sector. By participating, professionals can position themselves at the forefront of the Kingdom's hospitality transformation, forge strategic partnerships, and secure a competitive edge in one of the world's most dynamic investment markets. The summit is essential for anyone looking to capitalize on the unprecedented growth driven by Vision 2030, which aims to welcome 150 million annual visits by 2030 and significantly increase the hospitality sector's contribution to the national GDP.
