The World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) awarded Bahrain the hosting of the ninth UNWTO World Forum on Gastronomy Tourism in 2024, the world’s largest gastronomy tourism event.

This announcement is a testament to the exceptional tourism and entertainment capabilities of Bahrain, as one of the leading gastronomy and gourmet destinations in the Middle East.

The UNWTO announcement was on the sidelines of the 8th World Forum on Gastronomy Tourism, taking place in San Sebastian, Spain, on October 5-7, held by the World Tourism Organization and its Affiliate Member, the Basque Culinary Centre (BCC), with the aim of promoting the exchange of expertise in tourism and gastronomy, identifying good practices, and promoting gastronomy tourism as a main factor in destination development.

The Bahrain Tourism and Exhibitions Authority (BTEA) will organise the 9th UNWTO World Forum on Gastronomy Tourism 2024 at Exhibition World Bahrain in Sakhir, the Middle East’s newest and one of the largest convention and exhibition centres.
