Hosted by QTA, the Qatar pavilion, a 406 square meter with 23 participants, located on stand# ME100- South Hall, is helping position Qatar as the world’s upcoming destination and a central hub in the region for business, leisure, culture, education and sport.

 

His Excellency Issa bin Mohammed Al Mohannadi, Chairman of QTA, said “We have an exceptionally strong presence at this global show. This is the largest Qatar participation since our first exhibition at WTM back in the 1980s.”

 

QTA will represent and promote Qatar to the UK and European market by focusing on buyers from the incentive, luxury travel and leisure sectors, among them associations, conferences organizers, incentive planners and large group travel organizers. Already known as a progressive business hub, Qatar is well positioned to take advantage of

the MICE market in the Middle East, offering state-of-the-art venues with a harmonious blend of upscale leisure and cultural attractions.

 

“Situated centrally between East and West, and a short flight from Britain on Qatar Airways, Qatar offers a unique experience for its visitors. The country merges the classic Arabian traditions with modern luxury facilities. In 2012 alone, we had nearly 40,000 arrivals from Europe. This elevated Europe to Qatar’s third visitor market for the

first time. With Qatar Airways non-stop flights to 30 European cities, we are sure arrivals from Britain and Europe will increase further,” added, Al Mohannadi.

 

Nearly 5,000 exhibitors from 184 countries are expected to attend London’s biggest annual travel event next week. The event is expected to attract more than 48,000 senior travel professionals, government officials and international media to discover the latest industry opinion and trends at WTM. QTA will focus on holding buyer meetings and

interacting with counterparts in the UK and European tourism industry during their stay to raise interest in Qatar as a destination for business and leisure travel.
