With the FIFA World Cup baton handed over to Qatar, the tourism sector is expecting a huge boom. The tour and travel operators say it will now give their business a fillip as the focus of the world shifts to Qatar.
Following the guidelines of Qatar Tourism Authority (QTA), the tour and travel operators have begun offering special stopover packages in Qatar, aiming to bring in more tourists.
The move by Qatar Airways (QA) to expand its services and fly to a total of 220 destinations before 2022 has also prompted tour operators to design their packages.
Taking advantage of the visa-on-arrival facility being offered by Qatar, major tour operators have already started offering 'Qatar Stopover Packages' to travellers from Asian countries on way to Europe and America and vice versa.
Director of Fal Tour and Travel, one of the QTA recognised tour and travel operators, AP Manikantan said,"After the handing over of the FIFA World Cup baton, Qatar will now become a top tourism destination in the world. The flow of business and sports tourists will continue for the next four years. A multi-potential boom has kicked off and its beneficiaries will include business community, general public as well as job hunters from different parts of the world."
In an effort to attract tourists from India, QTA roped in Thomas Cook India Ltd, a major player in tourism sector in Doha, recently. The meeting was held to explore the potential of Qatar's tourism sector.
QTA's office in India is planning a Qatar Roadshow Networking Workshop Events in Indian cities of Mumbai and New Delhi on August 7 and 8.
The tour and travel operators in Qatar will present attractive packages at Qatar Roadshow Networking Workshop Events in India.
The packages include hotel reservation, meet and assist at the airport, car rentals, holiday package and transfers, 24-hour booking services, ticket delivery, visa assistance, Doha city tours, inland sea desert safari, camel riding and visit to Oryx farm, tour to north and east coast of Qatar.
