Hospitality event in Mexico 2026: the venue where hotels, foodservice, tour operators and suppliers close the year's tourism agenda

The 2026 Mexican hospitality event — hotel trade show, foodservice, ABASTUR, FIT, Tianguis Turístico, hotel opening, restaurant launch, beverage expo — operates under an operational principle the organizing committee must grasp before signing the brief: the year's tourism agenda closes between February and April (Tianguis Turístico, ABASTUR, FIT, hotel conferences) and the operation runs between June and December (peak summer season, independence week, December holidays, New Year), so the promotional material delivered at the fair must be at the hotel venue three months before operation. We run production for stands, hospitality kits, prospection gifts and room amenities with hotel suppliers (Marriott, Hilton, Hyatt, IHG, Barceló, Grupo Posadas, NH, City Express, Hoteles Misión), restaurant chains (Alsea, CMR, Toks, Vips, Sushi Itto, La Casa de Toño), tour operators (Nautilus, Apple Leisure Group, TUI, Grupo Xcaret) and foodservice suppliers (Unilever Food Solutions, Nestlé Professional, Sigma Alimentos, Bimbo, Lala).
