State of Qatar

Tourism is growing rapidly in Qatar and is one of several economic sectors the country is focusing on to enhance economic diversification over the coming decade. Qatar enjoys a strategic location at the crossroads of East and West, on average only 6–7 hours away from many of the world’s major population centres and travel hubs. Its five-star airline, Qatar Airways, connects over 160 destinations worldwide to Doha, and upon arrival, visitors enjoy unsurpassed safety, comfort and hospitality.

Qatar’s tourism strategy aims to position the country as one of the most desirable destinations worldwide for both leisure and business. Qatar’s tourism offerings, from arts and culture to adventure and sport, sand and sea, are distinct, providing traditional experiences with a unique modern twist.

Qatar Tourism is the main government body for planning and regulating the tourism sector. Its mission is to firmly establish Qatar on the global map as a place where cultural authenticity meets modernity, and where people of the world come together to experience unique offerings in culture, sports, business and family entertainment.
