A Platform Bringing Hospitality Excellence to the Gulf Region"},"content":{"rendered":"

From 15 to 17 December 2025, alongside Saudi HORECA, Host Arabia introduces HostMilano\u2019s successful format to Riyadh \u2014 a premium networking opportunity to meet qualified buyers, align with the ambitious Vision 2030 projects, and showcase the very best of the hospitality industry.<\/em><\/p>\n

Milan, June 17, 2025<\/em> \u2013 Rapid growth, a strong push for innovation, and forward-looking investment projects have made the Gulf countries<\/strong> a major focus area for Fiera Milano<\/strong> and HostMilano<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s from these opportunities that Host Arabia<\/strong><\/a> emerges \u2014 a new initiative by Fiera Milano in collaboration with Semark<\/strong>, exporting the excellence of the HostMilano model to Riyadh in support of Saudi Arabia\u2019s Vision 2030 strategy.<\/p>\n

To streamline schedules for companies and industry professionals, the event will be held concurrently with the 14th edition of Saudi HORECA Riyadh<\/strong> \u2014 the country\u2019s leading hospitality exhibition \u2014 from 15 to 17 December 2025 at the Riyadh Front Exhibition & Conference Center.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This strategic partnership creates an integrated trade fair platform<\/strong> designed to attract high-calibre buyers from across the Gulf<\/strong>, offering both Italian and international companies direct access to one of today\u2019s most vibrant and fast-moving markets<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Why Saudi Arabia?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Saudi Arabia<\/strong> is undergoing a period of unprecedented economic and infrastructure development, driven by Vision 2030<\/strong> \u2014 the Kingdom\u2019s ambitious plan to diversify its economy and become one of the world\u2019s top five tourist destinations<\/strong>. Over $800 billion in investments<\/strong> are earmarked for the hospitality sector alone, with major landmark projects such as NEOM<\/strong> (a $500 billion futuristic city), The Red Sea<\/strong> (set to transform over 90 untouched islands into luxury resorts), AlUla<\/strong>, and Qiddiya <\/strong>\u2014 new hubs for culture and entertainment.<\/p>\n

While these initiatives are forward-looking, their impact is already tangible: by 2030, Saudi Arabia aims to welcome 100 million annual visitors and offer 500,000 hotel rooms<\/strong> across the country.<\/p>\n

Adding to the appeal for international companies is a new wave of targeted customs benefits<\/strong>: import duties \u2014 which typically range between 5% and 25% (such as 15\u201320% on furniture and 5\u201310% on kitchen equipment) \u2014 are now being reduced or eliminated for supplies destined for strategic Vision 2030<\/strong> projects<\/strong> like NEOM and Red Sea Global.<\/p>\n

A strategic expansion of the Host brand<\/strong><\/p>\n

Host Arabia offers a tangible opportunity for businesses looking to go global, tapping into soaring demand and a climate of investment that is already translating into active construction sites, procurement contracts, and public tenders.<\/p>\n

The event will spotlight carefully selected exhibitors from HostMilano\u2019s key sectors \u2014 from foodservice to coffee, bakery to gelato, as well as interior design, furnishings, and vending. It\u2019s a unique chance to connect with buyers, distributors, designers, chefs, and local operators, all within a trade show environment that combines Fiera Milano\u2019s international expertise with the local insight and network of Semark.<\/p>\n

This isn\u2019t just a copy of HostMilano \u2014 it\u2019s a strategic brand extension<\/strong> that brings hospitality, out-of-home experiences, and food retail to the forefront in one of the world\u2019s most exciting growth regions.<\/p>\n

Host Arabia takes place from 15 to 17 December 2025 at Riyadh Front Exhibition & Conference Center.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The 44th edition of HostMilano will be held at Fiera Milano (Italy, Milan) from 17 to 21 October 2025.<\/strong><\/p>\n
