The Qatar National Tourism Council (QNTC) on Saturday announced a raft of summer programmes, which among other things let friends or relatives of a Qatar resident enter the country with a visa on arrival.
This facility is available from the first day of Eid Al Fitr until the end of Eid Al Adha — or from June 4 to August 16.
The “Summer in Qatar” programme features a range of “exciting indoor and outdoor experiences”, said QNTC Secretary-General and Group CEO of Qatar Airways (QA) Akbar al Baker.
The programme, which is being delivered in collaboration with more than 30 partners of QNTC including QA and Qatar Museums, also features a string of other offers.
From May 15, Qatar Airways will offer a discount of 25 percent on all flights to Doha from more than 160 destinations worldwide, for travel to Qatar anytime between May 30 and August 16.
“Aviation and tourism go hand in hand, and this year, we are leveraging the collaboration between these two sectors to offer travellers airfare discounts, promotional travel packages and exceptional airport experiences throughout the summer. Whether they are passing through, visiting friends and family or remaining in Qatar, visitors will experience Qatar anew,”
Baker said.
A wide range of hotels and hotel apartments will offer discounts of up to 25 percent, valid for stays between June 4 and August 16, 2019, along with several additional incentives and promotions at facilities.
