Organized by NEST – Tourism Innovation Center, the flagship project of the Tourism 4.0 initiative, BOOST 2026 is the meeting point for those who want to rethink the sector, accelerate ideas, and help position Portugal as a global hub for innovation and talent in tourism.
The edition that shapes the future
