Riyadh – Sharikat Mubasher: Riyadh will host the Future Hospitality Summit (FHS) from 11–13 May, 2025, at the Mandarin Oriental Al Faisaliah, bringing together over 1,000 tourism innovators, investors, and hotel operators from across the globe.

The three-day event, themed “Where Vision Shapes Opportunity,” will feature panel discussions, investment showcases, and deal signings.

The 2024 edition saw $1.1 billion in business opportunities and 17 major deals, reinforcing FHS’s role as a key platform for dealmaking in the region.

Organized by The Bench and supported by strategic partners like NEOM, Red Sea Global, and the Tourism Development Fund, the summit comes as Saudi Arabia advances its ambitious $110 billion tourism and hospitality strategy.

The Kingdom is on track to add 362,000 hotel rooms by 2030 and has already seen the hospitality sector contribute SR444.3 billion ($118.4 billion) to the GDP in 2023.

At FHS 2025, industry leaders will discuss investment models, talent development, and partnerships, all aligned with Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 goals to diversify the economy and position the Kingdom as a global tourism hub.
