Media network Euronews will beam its 2026 Travel & Tourism Summit live from Brussels’ Albert Hall on 29 September, with a multilingual feed accessible via Euronews.com, the broadcaster’s app and YouTube. An advance article published on 28 September confirmed a heavyweight speaker line-up led by Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama, U.S. Ambassador to Belgium Bill White and European Travel Commission chief Eduardo Santander. Panels will tackle Europe’s record-breaking summer traffic, overtourism management and the sector’s decarbonisation roadmap. Cruise giant MSC’s CEO Gianni Onorato will outline plans for “blue corridors” using alternative fuels, while aviation leaders debate pressure on ticket prices from volatile kerosene costs and geo-political airspace closures. Two Euronews flagship shows – The Ring and The Big Question – will stage live debate formats, elevating the summit’s political profile. For Belgian travel start-ups, tour operators and corporate buyers, the event offers a chance to benchmark post-pandemic recovery strategies and glean insights into forthcoming regulatory tweaks such as the EU Aviation Fuel Alliance and the Sustainable Tourism Indicator Set. Registration is free online and simultaneous interpretation will be provided in five languages. The summit’s Brussels location cements the city’s status as Europe’s mobility policy hub and offers international visitors a curtain-raiser to Connecting Europe Days taking place just across town.
