We believe it is crucial to accentuate Qatar’s tourism through the initiatives of young individuals who hold both talent and potential for the growth of the country.”  

Over the past decade, Qatar Tourism has played a significant role in affirming Qatar's status as a leading tourist destination. This has been achieved through the promotion of global partnerships and hosting a diverse range of international events and conferences to facilitate an attractive investment environment. Qatar Tourism maintains constant communication with international investors by participating in important regional and international travel exhibitions to stay informed about the latest developments in the tourism and travel sector. 

 

Qatar Tourism has entered into numerous agreements and partnerships with tourism service providers. The organization has also hosted familiarization trips for specialists and international experts to showcase the country's distinctive facilities and services, encouraging investments. 

At the local level, Qatar Tourism invests in the capabilities of pioneers and specialists in the tourism sector who directly engage with visitors. This is being done to establish a workforce that adapts to the future needs of the travel industry. In pursuit of encouraging innovation, excellence, and service quality, Qatar Tourism, in collaboration with the World Tourism Organization, has launched the "Qatar Tourism Awards" program. This initiative aims to honor outstanding efforts by local partners and the private sector in delivering exceptional tourism experiences.
