IV Madrid City Tourism Forum<\/p><\/div>\n

The Madrid City Tourism Forum: a key meeting point for the sector<\/h4>\n

The Madrid City Tourism Forum has become a key event for tourism professionals. Throughout the day, strategic topics were addressed such as urban destination management, artificial intelligence applied to tourism, city identity, and the evolution of traveler behavior. <\/p>\n

The Madrid City Council also presented the main indicators included in the Madrid Tourism Yearbook 2025, which highlight the strength of the destination and its ability to continue attracting both national and international visitors.<\/p>\n

The opening speech was delivered by Almudena Ma\u00edllo, Councillor Delegate for Tourism of the Madrid City Council, with the presentation \u201cMadrid 2026, a destination in transformation,\u201d focused on the challenges and opportunities of the capital as a tourist destination.<\/p>\n

Antonio Catal\u00e1n highlights Madrid\u2019s international appeal<\/h4>\n

One of the most relevant moments of the forum was the roundtable focused on the profile of today\u2019s traveler, in which Antonio Catal\u00e1n,<\/a> founder and president of ACHM Hotels by Marriott, participated alongside other experts from the tourism, cultural, and events sectors.<\/p>\n

During his intervention, Antonio Catal\u00e1n highlighted Madrid\u2019s strength as an international destination and the importance of offering a value proposition based on diverse, high-quality experiences.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cMadrid is blessed with an international audience that seeks varied cultural experiences.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

These words are supported by recent industry data: Madrid closed 2025 with more than 6.6 million international visitors and nearly \u20ac18 billion in tourism spending, consolidating itself as one of the most important urban destinations in Europe.<\/p>\n

Smarter, more sustainable, and more connected tourism<\/h4>\n

The Madrid City Tourism Forum also focused on the transformation of the sector towards smarter and more sustainable models.<\/p>\n

Artificial intelligence played a prominent role in the program with the presentation \u201cAI: the evolution of travel,\u201d focused on how technology is changing the way travelers plan and experience their journeys.<\/p>\n

Likewise, the importance of public-private collaboration was reinforced as a driver to boost destination competitiveness and improve the visitor experience.<\/p>\n
