The Abruzzo region is hosting its first regional tourism salon, ‘Piacere, Abruzzo!’, at Lanciano Fiera from October 2 to 4, 2026. The event follows a period of significant growth in the sector, with the region recording 8.8 million visitors in 2025 and continued increases in international arrivals through the first half of 2026.

The salon aims to promote Abruzzo as a competitive destination through the ‘BuyAbruzzo’ networking format, which connects tour operators and hospitality providers with national and international buyers. 

Beyond commercial promotion, the event emphasizes sustainable development, local identity, and the revitalization of small inland communities. Participants include social and educational initiatives like Rurabilandia, which showcases inclusive tourism models, and a delegation of 13 municipalities working to present small villages as contemporary, living destinations rather than ‘mere open-air museums’.
