Tourism in Qatar is attaining dazzling heights with each passing day. This
Middle Eastern emirate is gaining popularity as one
of the most desirable tourist destinations in the region.
The discovery of oil reserves and subsequent modernization
of the country has provided the much-needed impetus
to tourism in Qatar. This sector is now being promoted
as a leading factor in the nation's economic growth.
Qatar is a nation with mesmerizing natural splendor and numerous marvels of
architectural brilliance. It is the perfect amalgamation
of Arabic traditionalism and western contemporaneity.
Qatar allures tourists from the world over, thus furthering
tourism in the region.
The Qatar Tourism Authority (QTA) is the prime organization
that takes care of tourism in Qatar. Established in
the year 2000, QTA's main objective is to enable and
supervise the development of Qatar's tourism sector.
It also strives to promote Qatar as a topnotch tourist
destination in Middle East.
Tourism is strongly promoted during international
events and exhibitions
in Qatar. The QTA ensures coordinated development
of tourism infrastructure by putting in their best during
events like Doha
International Trade Fair and Doha Cultural Festival.
The crowning glory for tourism in Qatar was the recently-held
Doha
Asian Games, an international sporting event that
changed people's perceptions about this country and
its facilities.
Working closely with ministries, local communities
and associations, the QTA has truly taken Qatar tourism
to new pinnacles. The organization is chaired by Mr.
Akbar Al Baker, who is also the CEO of Qatar
Airways.
