Tourism Policy Conference 2026

Hosted by the Tourism Alliance, our flagship conference brings together senior industry leaders, policymakers and expert voices to examine the policy issues shaping the future of the UK visitor economy.

Speakers include Tourism Minister Stephanie Peacock MP, Migration Minister Jo White MP and East Midlands Mayor Claire Ward, alongside leaders from across government, business and the wider visitor economy.

Under the theme Tourism 2030: Growth, Access and Competitiveness, the programme tackles the sector’s biggest challenges and opportunities, from taxation and competitiveness, visas and inbound access, and place and destination, to sustainability, workforce and skills.

Through keynotes, panels and Q&A sessions, delegates can engage directly with senior government and industry leaders on the policy choices behind the next chapter of visitor economy growth.

It’s a day for informed debate, fresh perspectives and valuable conversations about what comes next.

With thanks to the Confederation of Passenger Transport, the UK Short Term Accommodation Association and the Family Holiday Charity for their support.
