SMART 2026 has officially opened registration for its upcoming edition, scheduled to take place from June 22 to 26, 2026. The event continues to position itself as a key platform for tourism professionals across the Northeastern Caribbean.

Hosted in Saint Martin and Sint Maarten, the tradeshow reflects a unique model of binational collaboration. It is jointly organized by the Office de Tourisme de Saint-Martin, the Sint Maarten Tourism Bureau, the Club du Tourisme de Saint-Martin, and the St. Maarten Hospitality and Trade Association.

Over the years, SMART has evolved into a leading B2B tourism marketplace, bringing together tour operators, travel advisors, hoteliers, airlines, and destination representatives. The event’s core value lies in its structured networking sessions, business meetings, and collaborative opportunities.

A major highlight of the 2026 edition will be the “Meet the Neighbors” program, featuring Anguilla, Saba, and Sint Eustatius as host destinations. This initiative underscores the importance of regional integration and promotes multi-destination travel experiences across nearby islands.

Organizers emphasize that SMART 2026 plays a critical role in enhancing the Caribbean’s global visibility while fostering partnerships between public and private stakeholders in the tourism ecosystem.

With limited capacity available, early registration is strongly encouraged via the official website.
