ABTA has announced its overseas Travel Convention will be held in Madeira, Portugal next year.
The event will take place from 12-14 October 2026, and delegates will stay at the Savoy Palace Hotel.
Visit Portugal President Carlos Abade said: “We are delighted to welcome ABTA’s Conference to Madeira. With its breathtaking landscapes and warm hospitality, Madeira embodies the very best of Portugal.
“The UK remains one of our most important tourism markets, and we greatly value the strong and long-standing relationship between our two countries. Hosting ABTA in Portugal is a unique opportunity to further strengthen these ties and to showcase our continued commitment to providing UK travellers with truly unforgettable experiences.”
ABTA Chief Executive Mark Tanzer said: “We’re thrilled to be taking ABTA’s annual Convention to Madeira in 2026. Whilst we’ve had the pleasure of holding the Convention in other parts of Portugal – Lisbon in 2001 and the Azores in 2017 – this is the first time we’ll be heading to Madeira, for what promises to be a standout event.”
