Hostelería Summit 2026 lands in Santo Domingo to link food and hotels

The Hostelería Summit 2026 now has dates and a venue: October 1 and 2 at the Hotel Catalonia Santo Domingo, according to Arecoa. The gathering will put business owners, hoteliers and food industry professionals in the same room to talk innovation and deals.

The date makes sense in a destination where the kitchen stopped being an add-on and became part of the tourism product. A Santo Domingo hotel no longer competes only on rooms: it competes on its restaurant table, on the experience offered to whoever sits down to eat. That is the business under discussion here.

The read is clear: in-person format, two days and a hotel venue in the capital. Worth following the program because it will show whether the Dominican sector uses these spaces to close deals or just for the photo. Santo Domingo's urban tourism welcomes every event that adds professional traffic.
