Press Release Journeys Algarve 2026

Journeys Algarve to Bring Luxury Travel Buyers and Suppliers Together for an Exclusive Business Event!

Journeys Global Group is proud to announce the launch of Journeys Algarve, an exclusive luxury travel event taking place 14 - 17 October 2026, created to connect the region’s top suppliers with elite travel buyers from the United States & Canada.

Hosted in partnership with Visit Algarve, the event will shine a global spotlight on the

Algarve’s evolving luxury offer through the pioneering Fam-Meet® format – an experience-based approach that blends high-level one-to-one business meetings with immersive, authentic local experiences.

Over four days, 40 handpicked American & Canadian buyers will engage with 40 premium Algarve suppliers – including five-star hotels, DMCs, and unique experience providers – in curated settings that reflect the soul of the destination. Rather than conventional conference rooms, connections are formed over shared activities and cultural immersion, fostering trust and long-term business relationships.

"Journeys Algarve is a strategic opportunity for the region to present itself at its most

authentic and elevated," said Micaela Giacobbe, Founder & CEO of Journeys Global

Group. "Through our Fam-Meet® format, we’re not just helping delegates do business

– we’re helping them build real connections. We’re proud to support the Algarve in

reaching new markets with depth and distinction."

André Gomes, President of Visit Algarve, added: “Hosting Journeys reflects our commitment to positioning the Algarve as a destination of excellence in the luxury segment. The format aligns perfectly with our strategy to showcase the region in meaningful and innovative ways. We believe this partnership will drive high-value tourism and long-lasting impact for our local

industry.”

Journeys Algarve will be fully funded by Journeys Global Group, with Algarve suppliers invited to participate for a subsidised fee of €1,000. The event is backed by a destination sponsorship agreement with the Algarve Tourism Board, designed to amplify the region’s reach among discerning global travel buyers.
