Europe’s travel industry is in the spotlight today as the Euronews Travel & Tourism Summit 2026 gets underway at the Albert Hall in Brussels.
Throughout the day, Euronews will be live from the Belgian capital with interviews, panels and debates exploring how tourism is responding to a year marked by geopolitical disruption, airspace closures and extreme weather.
Among the headline guests is Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama, who will sit down with Euronews’ Maria Tadeo. Eduardo Santander, CEO of the European Travel Commission, will reflect on the trends and challenges that shaped Europe’s record-breaking summer travel season, while other discussions will examine sustainability, connectivity and the future of tourism in Europe.
Two of Euronews’ flagship programmes are joining the summit. The Big Question will examine whether Europe’s cruise industry can chart a greener course with MSC Cruises CEO Gianni Onorato, while The Ring, hosted by Méabh Mc Mahon, will bring its head-to-head political debate format to Brussels.
Doors open from 9am, with live coverage available throughout the day on Euronews.
