The event for hospitality suppliers, including pool and wellness companies, returns in style celebrating a well-deserved milestone.
From February 2nd to 5th, Riva del Garda’s Fierecongressi district is set to host the 2026 edition of Hospitality – Il Salone dell’Accoglienza, Italy’s leading B2B fair dedicated to the hotel field.
This year, even more special
The occurrence will mark the fiftieth anniversary of the event, which was previously held sometimes two times per year. Inaugurated in 1979 under the name Expo Riva Hotel with 38 participating brands, over time the Fair has become a key player in the Ho.Re.Ca. ecosystem, and today boasts over 750 exhibitors as well as various thematic sections, each dedicated to a specific area of hotel supplies.
The importance of the wellness segment
In 2003, driven by strong demand, an entire area dedicated to wellness was launched: during the 4 days of the Fair, in the namesake Pavillon D, manufacturers, distributors, designers, and hydrotherapy specialists will present the latest innovations and solutions for swimming pools, whirlpools, saunas, and spa products. A crucial opportunity to witness the state of the art of the current market, meet with select international buyers, strengthen brand identity, and experience the latest trends firsthand thanks to a rich program of educational events.
The figures of Hospitality – Il Salone dell’Accoglienza
Spreading across 45,000 square meters, the last edition of the event hosted over 750 exhibitors, including top Italian brands and international companies, and welcomed 20,000 professionals – from the hospitality industry and beyond – seeking customized indoor and outdoor solutions. The Fair offers both brands and visitors an app designed to extend the experience before and after the actual event: exhibitors can use it to update their profiles with relevant details, prepare an attractive digital showcase, leverage smart matching to be found by buyers, organize their agendas by scheduling meetings with top partners, and also review collected leads, arrange follow-ups, and transform contacts into real collaborations.
