The Tourism Games by Ischgl are an innovative competition for young talents in tourism and will take place from 13 to 14 April 2026. The event is now in its third year and has been a resounding success in previous years. In an exciting triathlon consisting of cooking, barkeeping and marketing, young talents compete in teams of five to master specified tasks in their respective categories.

The event is aimed at talented individuals from tourism businesses and tourism schools in Austria, South Tyrol, Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg. Young people between the ages of 16 and 30 who want to demonstrate their creativity, skills and teamwork abilities are eligible to participate. The teams are supported by a team supervisor. A high-calibre jury consisting of leading figures from the Tyrolean tourism industry, renowned educational institutions and award-winning chefs evaluates the teams performances.

In addition to the competition itself, the supporting programme offers special experiences: a joint welcome evening, culinary highlights in Ischgl's award-winning restaurants and the festive award ceremony with an after-show party will ensure unforgettable moments.

The first two editions of the Tourism Games by Ischgl were a resounding success and demonstrated the immense potential and passion of the next generation of tourism professionals. We are already looking forward to the third edition of this special event, which will take place in April 2026.

The participation fee of 75 euros per person (supervisors free of charge) includes the following services:

• 2 overnight stays in Ischgl
• first-class catering at the welcome evening
• exclusive dinner in one of Ischgl’s award-winning Restaurants
• aftershow party in the exklusive Champagner Club
