Food & Hospitality Asia Maldives 2026 in Sept.

Food & Hospitality Asia Maldives (FHAM) 2026 will take place from September 7 to 9, 2026, at the Manhattan Grand Hotel, bringing together global brands, regional suppliers and key decision-makers from across the hospitality and tourism sectors.

Recognised as the Maldives’ largest and most influential international hospitality exhibition, the FHAM continues to serve as a key platform connecting international suppliers with the country’s fast-growing, import-driven tourism industry. 

With strong demand for food products, hotel supplies, equipment and service solutions, the event continues to create significant trade and export opportunities for regional markets, including Sri Lanka.

CDC Events & Travels Managing Director Imran Hassan highlighted the significance of the exhibition.

“The FHAM serves as a strategic B2B platform that connects the suppliers with luxury resorts, city hotels, restaurants, cafés, catering companies and tourism institutions. It continues to support the development of strong trade relationships and facilitates business opportunities across the hospitality sector.”

The tradeshow will feature a wide range of sectors including food and beverage, hospitality supplies and amenities, kitchen equipment and technology, bakery, pastry and confectionery, tea, coffee and beverage solutions, housekeeping and laundry solutions and wellness and spa products.

In addition, the FHAM will host internationally benchmarked competitions and concurrent events designed to attract the decision-makers from over 170 resorts across the Maldives. These include the Global Culinary Challenge, Barista Championship, Mocktail Competition, Housekeeping and Bed Decoration Competition and Natural Luxury Sommelier Challenge, collectively creating strong industry engagement and high-value business interaction.

Given the Maldives’ reliance on imports to support its tourism sector, the FHAM plays an important role in strengthening regional supply chains and supporting export growth from the neighbouring markets, particularly Sri Lanka.

With its strong focus on trade, networking and industry advancement, FHAM 2026 is expected to further reinforce its position as a key platform supporting business growth and cross-border collaboration within the regional hospitality sector.
