Set on the shores of the Bay of Kotor, the Convention will take place at the five-star Hyatt Regency Kotor Bay Resort from 4-6 October 2027 – the first time it has been held in Montenegro.
Delegates will enjoy exclusive use of the hotel, which sits within one of Montenegro’s most striking natural landscapes. One of the most beautiful bays in Europe, the Bay of Kotor is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, renowned for its dramatic mountain scenery, medieval towns and Adriatic coastline.
Nearby attractions include the walled Old Town of Kotor, the elegant marina of Porto Montenegro, historic waterside settlements, and a wealth of outdoor experiences both on land and at sea.
Beyond the Bay of Kotor, Montenegro offers a diversity of experiences within a compact destination. Within its small borders, visitors can discover soaring mountains, dramatic canyons, vast lakes and wetlands, and a beautiful coastline with a variety of beaches and secluded coves. The country is home to five national parks, offering opportunities for outdoor adventures and nature-based experiences.
Combined with its historic towns, rich cultural heritage, authentic local experiences and excellent gastronomy, Montenegro allows travellers to combine the coast, mountains, nature and culture in a single trip. Strong air connectivity with the UK, including direct flights to Tivat and Podgorica, makes the destination easily accessible to British travellers.
Delegates will fly into Tivat International Airport, located 13km from the hotel. The Convention will be hosted by the National Tourism Organisation of Montenegro.
Abta Chief Executive Mark Tanzer said: "The Bay of Kotor is one of Europe’s most striking destinations, combining outstanding natural beauty with fascinating history, culture and hospitality.
“Montenegro is becoming increasingly popular with UK holidaymakers and Kotor Bay will provide a stunning backdrop. We look forward to working closely with our hosts to deliver an exceptional Convention, while giving delegates the opportunity to experience everything this remarkable destination has to offer."
