Leading open-air hospitality trade show Salon Atlantica will stay at the Niort Exhibition Centre in Western France for at least the next three years, following the signing of a new agreement.
The organisers of the event, Fédération Départementale de l’Hôtellerie du Plein Air de Charente-Maritime (FDHPA 17), confirmed a deal with Niort Parc Expo operators So Space Évènements at Niort City Hall last week that will keep Salon Atlantica in the city for at least the next three editions.
Jérôme Baloge, Mayor of Niort and President of So Space Évènement and Pascal Tingaud, Vice President of FDHPA17 and Head of the Atlantica Trade Show, personally signed the paperwork for the agreement.
According to FDHPA 17, the signing of the agreement testifies to a common desire to grow an event that has become a must for professionals in the outdoor hotel industry, equipment, services and leisure, according to both parties.
FDHPA 17 went on to state that: “This collaboration is part of a dynamic of trust, economic development and territorial influence. It offers the show the stability it needs to continue its evolution, strengthen its attractiveness and offer an increasingly innovative and unifying event each year.”
This year’s edition of Salon Atlantica, which will be the 29th hosting of the show, takes place from 6 to 8 October and attracted more than 7,500 visitors in its most recent outing in 2025.
It remains the largest national trade show for the Hôtellerie de Plein Air (Open-Air Hospitality) industry on the Atlantic coast of France, and the second largest show of its kind nationally.
