Qatar Tourism Authority opens representative offices abroad
The first half of 2018 saw the continuation of Qatar Tourism Authority (QTA’s) efforts to tap into new international markets with the opening of representative offices in Russia and India. Thanks to the efforts of the latter Qatar is emerging as a strong market showing potential growth for destination wedding seekers.
Moreover, the first half of ’18 saw a series of Qatar’s festivals continue to grow, attracting leisure and family visitors. These include the second edition of Shop Qatar, the ninth edition of Qatar International Food Festival and the fifth edition of Qatar Summer Festival among others.
Hotel Apartments performed well in Q1 2018, with a significant increase of 17% in occupancy rate compared to the same period in 2017.
