Horeca Kuwait 2025

HORECA, originally founded in Lebanon by Hospitality Services in 1994, has evolved into one of the largest and most prestigious hospitality events in the region. After establishing its presence in Lebanon, the event expanded its reach across the Middle East, with branches opening in Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Oman, and Kuwait. In 2012, the event's franchise was acquired by Leaders Group, leading to the launch of HORECA in Kuwait, where it has since become a key event in the country’s hospitality calendar. Currently in its seventh edition, the HORECA Fair in Kuwait has solidified its position as the largest hospitality event in the nation, attracting some of the biggest names in the hospitality sector from Kuwait and across the region.

The event primarily focuses on the hospitality industry, offering a platform for various companies that are directly or indirectly related to this sector. Over the course of the three-day event, industry leaders, entrepreneurs, and companies gather to showcase their products, services, and innovations. Numerous prominent brands either sponsor or exhibit at HORECA, making it a significant event for networking and business development within the hospitality industry.

One of the highlights of HORECA is the Culinary Art Show, a much-anticipated event where chefs from Kuwait and beyond compete in a series of exciting challenges. These competitions provide a unique opportunity for local and international culinary talent to showcase their extraordinary skills and creativity. The contestants’ performances are judged by a panel of esteemed international experts, including judges from Europe, the Middle East, and the Far East, ensuring the event maintains high standards of evaluation and professionalism. The Culinary Art Show not only highlights the culinary talent in the region but also serves as an important platform for chefs to exchange knowledge and inspire one another.

The HORECA Fair is hosted at the Kuwait International Fairs, an expansive exhibition and events center located in Mishref, Kuwait. This venue is a hub for regional and international trade shows, making it an ideal location for an event of this scale. The fair features an array of activities including seminars, workshops, and live cooking demonstrations, all aimed at fostering learning and professional growth in the hospitality sector. These sessions are led by industry experts and seasoned professionals who share valuable insights, trends, and best practices with attendees.

Organized by Hospitality Services Sarl, a leading name in the events industry based in Lebanon, HORECA has become a vital fixture in the hospitality landscape of the Middle East. By bringing together key stakeholders from the hotel, restaurant, and café industries, the event plays a crucial role in promoting collaboration, knowledge-sharing, and innovation within the hospitality sector. Whether for networking, business development, or culinary inspiration, HORECA continues to be a flagship event that shapes the future of hospitality in Kuwait and the wider region.
