Emilia-Romagna to Host Journeys Italy 2026, Celebrating the Art of Italian Wellness

London, 20 November 2025 — As Journeys Italy 2025 draws to a close in Palermo, Journeys Global Group is proud to announce that the 2026 edition will take place in Emilia-Romagna, from 15 to 18 November 2026, with the Lucia Magnani Health Clinic in Castrocaro Terme as host hotel. Set against the backdrop of one of Italy’s most authentic and wellness-driven regions, next year’s event will celebrate the art of wellbeing and the balance between body, mind, and place — an experience perfectly aligned with Journeys’ Fam-Meet® philosophy of connection through shared moments.

Recognised as Italy’s premier annual boutique event for luxury travel, Journeys Italy brings together up to 40 handpicked luxury travel advisors from North America, Europe, and Asia with up to 35 exceptional Italian suppliers representing the very best in bespoke travel experiences, boutique accommodations, and high-end hospitality.

Hosted each year in a carefully selected Italian destination, the event follows the signature Fam-Meet® format — combining pre-scheduled one-to-one meetings with immersive local experiences that foster trust, collaboration, and long-lasting business relationships.

After the remarkable success of previous editions in Umbria, Le Marche, and Sicily, Journeys Italy continues its mission to connect only high-calibre luxury travel decision-makers with Italy’s most authentic destinations, enabling them to discover and share the country’s hidden gems with their discerning clients.

“We are delighted and honoured to host Journeys Italy 2026 in Emilia-Romagna,” emphasizes Roberta Frisoni, the Regional Minister for Tourism, Sport, and Commerce.

“This is a land that, with its excellences - from the charm of castles and villages scattered throughout the region to its unique food and wine, from the Cities of Art with their UNESCO recognitions to Motor Valley, to haute couture, artistic craftsmanship, and wellness - represents the Made in Italy at its best and embodies the “Italian way of life” that the whole world recognizes, made up of beauty and authentic hospitality. Journeys Italy will be the perfect showcase for our luxury tourism offerings, as well as another important step in the internationalization of holidays in Emilia-Romagna, which we have been pursuing for some time.”

Dott.ssa Lucia Magnani, CEO of Lucia Magnani Health Clinic, added:

“It is an honour to host Journeys Italy 2026 at the Lucia Magnani Health Clinic. Our philosophy is rooted in scientific wellness and the pursuit of balance — values that mirror the spirit of Journeys. We are delighted to welcome such a distinguished community of international travel professionals to discover the essence of wellbeing and Italian lifestyle in a place where science, beauty and hospitality meet.”

Micaela Giacobbe, Founder & CEO of Journeys Global Group, added:

“As we close another wonderful edition here in Palermo, it feels symbolic — like passing the Olympic torch — to hand over the next chapter of Journeys Italy to Emilia-Romagna. This region, with its elegance, culture, and focus on wellbeing, perfectly embodies the spirit of Journeys and the Fam-Meet® way: connecting through shared experiences that build trust and lasting relationships.”

Journeys Italy 2026 will welcome 40 international buyers and 35 Italian luxury suppliers for two days of one-to-one meetings, immersive venues, and exclusive networking across Emilia-Romagna.
