EVENT OVERVIEW

Continued growth in the hospitality sector in the GCC has led to renewed interest amongst developers and investors alike, who are looking to introduce more brands, diversify their portfolio and consolidate their presence in the ever lucrative gulf market. With Saudi Arabia and UAE already having a large inventory of the leading brands and still expanding, the focus is also on Qatar given the excitement around the World Cup 2022 and the Qatar National Vision 2030.

The Qatar Tourism Authority (QTA) has announced that their target is to attract 7 million visitors per year by 2030. The QTA has set out a tourism strategy outlining their approach for growing the tourism and hospitality market in the Qatar National Tourism Sector Strategy 2030.
