A calendar of major global travel and tourism events taking place in April 2026. The event focus on travel industry recovery, networking, and sector-specific development across international markets. The schedule brings together a diverse mix of trade shows, conferences, and specialist forums, reflecting the evolving priorities of the global travel industry.
Many of the listed events are centred on strengthening business connections, facilitating buyer–seller engagement, and supporting destination marketing efforts. They also provide a platform for tourism boards, hotel groups, airlines, and technology providers to present new products, share market insights, and explore partnership opportunities.
In addition, several events focus on key growth segments including MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences and Exhibitions), luxury travel, aviation, and travel technology. Together, these gatherings offer valuable opportunities for industry professionals to exchange knowledge, assess emerging trends, and position their organisations within an increasingly competitive global landscape.
