The Skal Asia Congress returns to Macau at the Grand Lisboa Palace from June 11 to 14, 2026.
Under the theme “Celebrating Heritage – Empowering Innovation”, the event will focus on integrating AI and technology to diversify tourism offerings through sustainable practices.
Hosted by Skal International Macau, this marks the club’s fourth time hosting the regional congress, following a successful 2018 edition. Organisers expect 150 to 200 delegates, with the majority hailing from India, followed by South-east Asia, Japan, Korea, and Hong Kong.
Club president Vinzenz Rosadepauli, who is also the general manager of Sofitel Macau at Ponte 16, told TTGmice: “The return of this congress highlights Macau’s status as Asia’s leading MICE destination. Our club won the bid against proposals from Japan, Korea, and other cities.”
He added: “Our goal is to sustain the legacy of promoting Macau’s tourism. This ICCA-accredited congress will celebrate our rich heritage while empowering innovations to adapt to the evolving industry.”
The event begins on June 11 with a welcome reception. On June 12, a grand opening ceremony featuring industry keynote speakers will be followed by a cultural city tour and Macau Night, an evening showcasing traditional culture and culinary delights.
The Annual General Meeting will take place on June 13, followed by a lunch hosted by the organisers of the 2027 Asia Congress (Malaysia). After a second afternoon city tour, the event will conclude with a gala dinner at the Grand Lisboa Palace. Optional Macau and Hong Kong tours are available for delegates wishing to extend their stay.
As of early 2026, Skal International Macau has more than 40 members across various sectors of the tourism and hospitality industries.
