Future Hospitality Summit Saudi Arabia 2025 to Host NextGen Investment Forum, Addressing Workforce Development, Hospitality Education, and Talent Retention for Vision 2030
The Future Hospitality Summit Saudi Arabia (FHS) is set to take place in Riyadh from May 11 to 13, 2025, bringing together industry leaders, policymakers, and educators to tackle the most pressing challenges in the country’s rapidly growing hospitality sector.
One of the event’s key highlights will be the debut of the NextGen Investment Forum, a pioneering initiative designed to address critical issues surrounding hospitality education, workforce development, and talent retention.
With Saudi Arabia’s tourism industry on a transformative trajectory under Vision 2030, the hospitality sector is expected to generate over one million new jobs, add 320,000 hotel rooms, and contribute approximately $46 billion to the economy. The demand for a skilled, knowledgeable workforce is higher than ever, and the NextGen Investment Forum aims to bridge the gap between industry needs and education by fostering collaboration between government entities, private investors, academia, and tech innovators.
With over 1,400 delegates expected to attend, FHS Saudi Arabia will serve as a critical platform for shaping the future of the Kingdom’s hospitality industry. The event, hosted at the Mandarin Oriental Al Faisaliah in Riyadh, will provide an unparalleled opportunity for industry leaders to network, exchange ideas, and contribute to the realization of Vision 2030’s tourism goals.
