The event, which will take place from November 25 to 27 at the Doha Exhibition and Convention Center (DECC), promises to be a landmark exhibition for the travel and tourism industry, both regionally and globally. The highly anticipated third edition of QTM is organised by NeXTfairs for Exhibitions and Conference, with the support of the Prime Minister, Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Qatar, and the Ministry of Commerce and Industry (MoCI).
