Tourism Innovation Summit 2026

Overview

The Tourism Innovation Summit (TIS) 2026 is scheduled to take place from October 6–8 at FIBES Sevilla. The event will address the evolving landscape of tourist accommodation, focusing on the regulation and convergence of various lodging models.

Discussions are expected to cover the rise of hybrid formats that integrate accommodation with wellness, health, community, or workspace services. The summit will also examine the professionalization of the short-term rental market as it shifts toward professional operators following hotel-industry standards. This transition occurs alongside tightening regulations intended to balance tourism with local housing needs and community coexistence.

A case study on the Gipuzkoa model will be presented, highlighting how the hotel and short-term rental sectors have collaborated by treating tourist housing as a tertiary activity with hotel-like urban planning characteristics. This specific regulatory approach was established in Donostia around 2010, distinguishing the region from other Spanish areas where the two sectors often remain in conflict.
