Sri Lanka’s Premier Hospitality Showcase Returns to the BMICH from 24–26 July

Hotel Show Colombo 2026, Sri Lanka’s premier hospitality and food service exhibition, throws open its doors tomorrow at the BMICH, welcoming the industry to three action-packed days from 24 to 26 July.

Now in its 18th edition, the exhibition organized by the Sri Lanka Hospitality Graduates Association (SLHGA) in collaboration with CDC Events brings together over 400 stalls under one roof, drawing hoteliers, suppliers, manufacturers, and hospitality professionals from Sri Lanka, the Maldives, India, and across South Asia.

Visitors can expect the very latest in smart technology and contactless solutions, sustainable and eco-friendly hospitality, luxury and experiential travel, food and beverage innovation, and advancements in property management systems and interior design.

In a landmark first, Hotel Show Colombo 2026 will be hosted as a fully carbon-neutral event, independently verified by Control Union Sri Lanka — setting a responsible, forward-thinking benchmark for the region’s hospitality sector.

Adding to the excitement, a thrilling lineup of concurrent events kicks off alongside the main exhibition: The National Barista Championship, National Room Stylist Challenge, National Tea Masters Cup Sri Lanka, Bar Champs, and a series of industry-focused Masterclasses — celebrating the very best of Sri Lankan hospitality talent.

“With Sri Lanka’s tourism industry experiencing remarkable growth, hotels and resorts are continuously striving to enhance guest experiences. Hotel Show Colombo 2026 will serve as a catalyst for innovation, networking, and business expansion in the hospitality sector,” said Mr. Trevin Gomez, Chairman of the Organizing Committee.
