Experience a world beyond: qatar tourism launches new campaign and continues its goal to welcome 6 million visitors by 2030.

Qatar Tourism reveals the country's largest-ever international tourism marketing campaign in push to become the fastest-growing tourism destination in the Middle East.

Qatar Tourism

DOHA, Qatar, Nov. 01, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Qatar Tourism has launched a new international multi-media campaign to drive forward the country's tourism goals and cement its ambition to welcome more than six million visitors a year by 2030. The campaign features nine unique, engaging key chain characters designed to introduce travellers to the destination.

Under the tagline, "Experience a World Beyond", Qatar Tourism launched its latest development via a TV-led media campaign, featuring the voice of Indonesian singing sensation, Raisa. Six key chain characters introduce travellers to the variety of experiences that Qatar offers, with a further three friendly local characters representing Qatari tour guides.

The global campaign is inspired by the insight that today, more than ever, international travellers are looking for unique, authentic experiences that create unforgettable memories. Fast-emerging destination Qatar promises to deliver a safe, secure and accessible introduction to the Middle East, blending cosmopolitan modernity with Arabic tradition.

Chairman of Qatar Tourism and Qatar Airways Group Chief Executive, His Excellency Mr. Akbar Al Baker, said: "The country's extensive developments are well underway as we welcome visitors from around the world, with exceptional hospitality at every touchpoint. The launch of the Experience a World Beyond marks a significant point in our journey to establishing ourselves as a world-leading destination and welcoming six million visitors per year by 2030."

The new advertising campaign reflects Qatar's commitment to expanding its tourism proposition, in line with Qatar's National Vision 2030. Qatar has already welcomed over 200,000 in-bound travellers since borders re-opened in July 2021.

A new website launched by Qatar Tourism, www.visitqatar.qa , is now available in five languages and supported by a recently launched Personalised Travel Companion mobile app, designed to showcase the world-leading destination.

Qatar's new tourism strategy puts the visitor at the heart of all new programmes and initiatives and will leverage the peninsula's variety of existing experiences, while capitalising on a wave of new hotels, theme parks, shops and major leisure projects that have recently opened or are set to launch in the lead-up to the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 TM .

Qatar is renowned for its warm hospitality and commitment to excellence, exemplified by its award-winning carrier Qatar Airways, which is the only airline to be voted World's Best Airline six times by Skytrax. This is further complemented by the airline's home and hub, Hamad International Airport, which was voted World's Best Airport in 2021 by Skytrax. Such accolades further reinforce the country's warm and hospitable reputation as it looks forward to welcoming tourists to the State of Qatar through a seamless journey.

Global advertising campaign positions Qatar as tourism hot spot

Qatar has stepped on to the world stage to present itself as an emerging tourism destination courtesy of an international advertising campaign, website and personalized mobile app travel companion.

‘Experience a World Beyond’ sees the Middle Eastern nation target 15 markets through TV, out-of-home (OOH), social and digital channels including Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and Snapchat, promoting the Arabian Peninsula as a hub for outdoor activities as seen through the misadventures of six cute CGI keychain critters.

An Arabian oryx, falcon and turtle also serve as local guides – each offering insight into a different aspect of Qatari culture – which have been created by character designer Peter De Sevre and renowned director Hervé de Crecy, in collaboration with Mikros MPC Advertising Paris.

Qatar seeks to shake off a pandemic-related tourism slump to welcome 6 million visitors a year by 2030, a figure which would see the industry contribute 12% of the country’s GDP if attained.

To get there the campaign opens the eyes of frustrated travelers to the hospitality, sights and experiences that await them on the other end of a flight. Promoting authenticity over staged Instagram shots, the campaign highlights a recent report by Numbeo naming Qatar as the world’s safest country to dispel any concerns about travel in the region and issues over dress code .

Berthold Trenkel, chief operating officer of Qatar Tourism, said: “Qatar is a concentrated introduction to the Middle East and offers a world to be discovered, from the hyper-modern to the fascinatingly traditional. Tourists are seeking original travel experiences not just to post on Instagram, but to share with their friends and families, and keep in their own personal memory banks. This film introduces travelers to a destination that is beyond their expectations, beyond their imaginations, beyond their preconceptions and beyond what others can offer.”

The burst of promotional activity dovetails with the impending Fifa World Cup Qatar from November 21 to December 18 2022.

أعلنت قطر للسياحة بالتعاون مع هيئة السياحة السعودية واكتشف السعودية (التابعة للمسافر)، باعتبارها شركة إدارة الوجهات الرائدة في المملكة، عن إطلاق حملة ترويجية جديدة تحت عنوان “Double the Discovery”، وذلك أثناء مشاركتهم في معرض برلين الدولي للسياحة بهدف الترويج لأبرز معالم الجذب والوجهات السياحية في البلدين ، بما يتيح للزوار الدوليين لكلتا البلدين فرصة رائعة لاستكشاف أبرز المعالم السياحية والمراكز الثقافية والمواقع التاريخية في كل من قطر والمملكة العربية السعودية عبر رحلة واحدة.

وبفضل باقات السفر المصممة بعناية، تضع حملة “Double the Discovery” بين أيدي المسافرين عالماً من الفرص والمزايا، حيث توفر لهم تجارب فريدة وغامرة تسلط الضوء على المشاهد الطبيعية المتنوعة والمنشآت المعمارية الأيقونية والتقاليد التراثية الأصيلة في كلا البلدين.

تعتبر الخطوط الجوية القطرية، الناقلة الوطنية لدولة قطر والحائزة على أرفع الجوائز العالمية، شريك الطيران الرسمي للحملة، كما ستعمل كلا من ” Visit Qatar ” و” Visit Saudi” بتحديد الاسواق الرئيسية لإطلاق والترويج لباقات السفر من خلال منظمي الرحلات السياحية في كل سوق. كما تعد اكتشف قطر واكتشف السعودية شركتين محليتين تعنى بإدارة الوجهات في قطر والمملكة العربية السعودية.

وأضاف مزمل حسين، الرئيس التنفيذي لشركة المسافر: “يسعدنا أن نتعاون مع قطر للسياحة والهيئة العامة للسياحة السعودية من خلال شركتنا لإدارة الوجهات “اكتشف السعودية”، لتعزيز تجارب الزوار القادمين إلى دول مجلس التعاون الخليجي. لن يقتصر دور هذه المبادرة على دفع حركة السياحة في المملكة بما يتماشى مع أجندة السياحة الوطنية للمملكة العربية السعودية فقط، حيث ان هذه المبادرة ستمنح المسافرين أيضًا الفرصة لاستكشاف هاتين الوجهتين المثيرتين خلال زيارة واحدة، مع فرصة تجربة أفضل الخدمات.”

وفي إطار هذه الحملة، سيتم توفير أدلة إرشادية شاملة للسياح وذلك لتزويدهم بالمعلومات اللازمة والبيانات المفصلة الخاصة بأفضل المعالم والأنشطة التي يمكنهم القيام بها ومراكز التسوق والمطاعم التي تتوفر في كل من قطر والسعودية. وتهدف هذه الأدلة الإرشادية إلى مساعدة المسافرين في تحقيق أقصى استفادة ممكنة من زيارتهم واكتشاف أفضل ما تقدمه كل مدينة.

بالإضافة إلى الأدلة الإرشادية للمدن، سوف تشمل باقات السفر المشتركة التي يتم تقديمها ضمن الحملة تذاكر الطيران والإقامة وتوفير المواصلات بما يلائم شتى التطلعات ويغطي فترات إقامة مختلفة.

وتقدم “اكتشف قطر” باقات متنوعة من “رحلات التوقف” التي تلبي شتى الاهتمامات، بما في ذلك تقديم فئات وأنواع مختلفة من الفنادق والأماكن الشاطئية. وتتوفر هذه الباقات عبر ثلاث فئات: هي العادية والمتميزة والفاخرة، بما يضمن حصول المسافرين على خيار الإقامة المثالي الذي يلائم نمط حياتهم وميزانيتهم.

ومن جانبه، قال السيد ستيفن رينولدز، نائب الرئيس الأول لشركة اكتشف قطر: “يسر اكتشف قطر أن تكون جزءاً من هذه المبادرة مع قطر للسياحة والهيئة السعودية للسياحة. إن حملة Double the Discovery توفر للمسافرين فرصة فريدة لاستكشاف أبرز المعالم السياحية والمراكز الثقافية والمواقع التاريخية في كلا البلدين في رحلة واحدة. وبهدف توفير تجربة سلسة للمسافرين الدوليين، تقدم هذه الحملة للمسافرين باقات سفر مصممة بعناية توفر لهم تجارب فريدة وغامرة تمكنهم من مشاهدة الطبيعية الآخاذة والمنشآت المعمارية الأيقونية، إضافة إلى تجربة التقاليد التراثية الأصيلة في كلا البلدين.”

وستقدم “اكتشف السعودية” مجموعة متنوعة من الباقات الجذابة مثل “ليلتين في جدة، وليلتين في مكة، وليلتين في المدينة المنورة”، و”ليلتين في جدة، و3 ليالٍ في العُلا”. وتسمح هذه الباقات للزوار بالتعرف على التاريخ الغني والتراث الثقافي الذي تتميز به المملكة، بالإضافة إلى الاستمتاع بترتيبات مريحة لخيارات الإقامة والانتقالات.

وفي إطار سعيها لتعزيز الآفاق السياحية للعائلات والمسافرين من هواة المغامرات في كل من قطر والسعودية، تهدف الحملة الجديدة التي تم تدشينها في كلا البلدين إلى توفير مجموعة متنوعة من الفرص السياحية للعائلات، وكذلك للمغامرين سواء كانوا فرادى أو جماعات. وتركز هذه الحملة المشتركة على تقديم تجارب متنوعة مثل التسوق واستكشاف المعارض الفنية والمراكز الثقافية وممارسة أنشطة تعليمية وزيارة الوجهات الشاطئية والاستفادة من الخيارات التي توفرها مرافق الاسترخاء العصرية.

تحتضن الدوحة مجموعة واسعة من المعارض الفنية والمتاحف عالمية المستوى، والتي يأتي على رأسها متحف الفن الإسلامي الذي يضم مجموعة من أعظم مقتنيات الفن الإسلامي في العالم وتشمل الخزف والمسكوكات والزجاج والمشغولات الخشبية والمجوهرات والنسيج. ويستضيف المتحف أيضاً العديد من المعارض الفنية الخاصة بنخبة من أبرز الفنانين المحليين والعالميين على مدار السنة. ونظراً لأن مدينة جدة السعودية تحتضن موقعاً مدرجاً على لائحة التراث العالمي لليونسكو، وهو “سور جدة”، وكذلك بعض المنازل العتيقة التي تم ترميمها وتحويلها إلى مقاهٍ ومعارض فنية، فإن المدينة تزخر بالكثير الذي تقدمه لعشَّاق الفنون والتاريخ. وتضم مدينة جدة أيضاً مراكز تسوق فاخرة ومطاعم عالمية بما يلبي تطلعات هؤلاء الذين يفضلون تجارب سياحية أكثر انغماساً في الطابع الحضري للمدن.

تضم مدينة الدوحة مجموعة رائعة من مراكز التسوق العصرية والفاخرة وكذلك الأسواق العتيقة، بداية من مركز فيلاجيو بطابعه الكلاسيكي وصولاً إلى بلاس فاندوم بطرازه الباريسي الساحر. أما العاصمة السعودية الرياض، فتقدم خيارات متميزة في التسوق تتيح من خلالها أشهر العلامات التجارية في العالم عبر مراكز التسوق التي توجد بها. وإلى جانب التسوق، يمكن للزوار أيضاً تناول أشهى الأطعمة والمأكولات في مجموعة من أرقى المطاعم والمقاهي التي توفر أشهر الأطباق العالمية جنباً إلى جنب مع أشهى المأكولات السعودية.

أجواء مثالية للاسترخاء

تُعتبر قطر، شبه جزيرة تحيط بها مياه الخليج العربي الزرقاء والصافية. ولكونها تزخر بالعديد من المنتجعات الشاطئية ذات الرمال الذهبية، والتي يُخصص بعضها للسيدات حصرياً، تقدم قطر ضيافة عالمية المستوى من خلال ما توفره من شواطئ ساحرة ومنتجعات صحية وأنشطة مائية ممتعة.

العودة إلى الماضي

في قطر، نرحب بالزوار الراغبين في استكشاف المنحدرات الصخرية البيضاء في رأس بروق، وهي شبه جزيرة تقع على الساحل الغربي لدولة قطر وتضم بقايا استقرار بشري تعود لعصور ما قبل التاريخ فيما يمتزج فيها الجمال الطبيعي للصحراء مع بعض الفنادق والمطاعم الجديدة. كما يمكن للزوار الاستمتاع بالسياحة التاريخية عبر استكشاف “مسار المتاهة” في العلا السعودية، وهي واحة خصبة ظلت طريقاً لتجارة البخور على مدى آلاف السنين. وتحتضن السعودية أيضاً مقابر “الحِجر” المحفورة بعناية في صخور الصحراء والبالغ عددها 111 مقبرة، وهي أول موقع للتراث العالمي لليونسكو في المملكة، ويعود تاريخها إلى الألفية الأولى قبل الميلاد. بالإضافة إلى ذلك، يمكن للزوار الاستمتاع بمشهد غروب الشمس في إحدى العجائب الجيولوجية والتي تسمى “صخرة الفيل”.

The race for the "world’s best airport” crown has been a two-horse affair in recent years, with Qatar's Hamad International in Doha and Singapore Changi leading the pack.

This year the title has switched, with 12-time winner Singapore being edged out of the top spot by its Middle Eastern rival in the Skytrax World Airport Awards 2024.

In a strong showing for Asia, Seoul Incheon bagged third place – also being named 2024’s most family-friendly airport – while Tokyo’s twin facilities of Haneda and Narita took fourth and fifth spots.

Hong Kong airport saw a significant boost, up 22 positions to 11th place after the city shook off its Covid-19 hangover and passenger numbers rose.

Once again US airports were nowhere to be seen near the top of the table, with the highest ranked, Seattle-Tacoma, slipping six places to 24.

Europe continued to have a strong showing, with Paris Charles de Gaulle, Munich, Zurich and Istanbul all maintaining positions in the top 10.

In other news: "This year HIA celebrates its milestone 10th year of operations and we are truly honored that passengers have voted us Best Airport in the World for a third time,” said Qatar Airways group chief executive officer Badr Al-Meer.

Qatar re-evaluates key mediator role in Middle East conflict on concerns of ‘political exploitation'

By ruxandra iordache,cnbc • published 3 hours ago • updated 2 hours ago.

• In a late-Wednesday statement, Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani "lamented the political exploitation by some politicians with narrow interests, marketing their electoral campaigns through the defamation of Qatar's role."
• He did not reference any politicians or states by name.
• The Qatari leader stressed that Doha will undertake a "comprehensive evaluation" of its diplomatic position without indicating a timeline.

Qatar is reconsidering its role as cease-fire broker between Israel and Palestinian militant group Hamas, the Gulf state's prime minister said, expressing concerns that Doha's mediation has been subject to "political exploitation."

In a late-Wednesday statement , Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani "lamented the political exploitation by some politicians with narrow interests, marketing their electoral campaigns through the defamation of Qatar's role."

He did not reference any politicians or states by name, but noted that Doha has observed the "misuse" of its mediation and "its employment for narrow political interests," stressing that Qatar will undertake a "comprehensive evaluation" of its diplomatic position without indicating a timeline.

Earlier this week, U.S. Congressman for Maryland, Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) had issued a statement urging Qatar to "apply pressure on Hamas to accept a reasonable deal" for a temporary truce in exchange for the return of captives abducted by the Palestinian group during its terror attack of Oct. 7.

Since October, the Hamas-governed Gaza Strip has been ravaged by a retaliatory war campaign carried out by Israel.

"Hamas has also sought to use its intermediary Qatar – which has long helped finance, back, and house the terrorist organization – to exact greater concessions from Israel. Instead, Qatar needs to make it clear to Hamas that there will be repercussions if it continues to block progress toward releasing the hostages and establishing a temporary ceasefire," Hoyer said.

"If Qatar fails to apply this pressure, the United States must reevaluate its relationship with Qatar."

Qatar's Embassy in Washington responded to Hoyer's comments with a statement that Doha's capacity as mediator "exists only because we were asked by the United States in 2012 to play this role," adding that "blaming and threatening the mediator is not constructive, especially when the target is a friend and a Major Non-NATO Ally that presently hosts 10,000 U.S. troops and America's largest military presence in the Middle East."

Alongside the U.S. and Egypt, Qatar has been a critical diplomatic component of Israel's negotiations with Hamas since October, helping clinch a brief cease-fire between Nov. 24 and 30 and the release of more than a hundred hostages. Yet Qatar's relationship with Hamas has faced intense scrutiny — Hamas set up its political bureau in the Gulf nation in the wake of the Arab Spring uprisings of 2011, and the Palestinian militant group's leader Ismail Haniyeh resides in Qatar. Doha denies sponsoring Hamas.

Qatar's potential withdrawal from negotiations would come at a watershed moment in Middle East tensions, which were exacerbated over the weekend by the first direct attack from Iranian territory against Israel. On Saturday night, Tehran launched over 300 drones and missiles at Israel, whose military claims to have eliminated 99% of these threats with support from its international allies.

Iran — which backs Hamas, Lebanon's Hezbollah, Yemen's Houthi and the Syrian regime of Bashar Assad, all inimical to Israel — has said that the Saturday operation marked the end of its response to an Israeli strike that killed several commanders at an Iranian consulate in Damascus, Syria.

Arrested between retribution and urged to show restraint by international allies, Israel has vowed to "exact a price" for the Iranian offensive, but has yet to communicate its next steps.

Markets are following the developments of the conflict, which could come to envelop the broader Middle East region and have acute ramifications for oil prices and international trade. Already, Houthi maritime attacks have delayed or disrupted commercial transit through the Red Sea.

Qatar seeks stronger business ties with Korean firms

Qatar-Korea Trade Mission 2024 to be held in Seoul, April 29-30

Qatar Development Bank (QDB) is hosting a business networking event between companies in Qatar and Korea as it seeks to build stronger economic ties with Korean business groups and further develop the two countries' bilateral cooperation, according to the Qatar Embassy in Korea, Tuesday.

The state-run bank's event, Qatar-Korea Trade Mission 2024, will run from April 29 to 30 in Seoul, while the bank's export development, finance and promotion agency, Tasdeer, is organizing it.

Twenty-one Qatari companies are participating in the business match-up with their potential Korean counterparts. The delegation includes companies in the fields of architectural chemical products, construction materials, health and medical, petroleum and gas, plastic products and packaging, engineering consulting, sports tech and tourism.

The companies have decades of business history and recognized performances in Qatar, according to the embassy. ITAG International, an offshore drill expert and equipment manufacturer, is one of the most experienced offshore drillers in Europe. Qatari German for Medical Devices is one of the leading medical equipment manufacturers in the Middle East. SkyStruct, an engineering consulting firm, is on top of the industry in Qatar by specializing in technologies coming from Qatar Science & Technology Park.

Korea Importers Association (KOIMA) said earlier this month the Qatar embassy had requested to promote the event to the association's member companies. KOIMA has released details on the event online, including names of participating Qatari firms and each of their websites, and encouraged its member companies to join it.

QDB, with the event, seeks to solidify further the bilateral economic partnership that was previously highlighted by Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol when he paid a state visit to Qatar last October. Yoon, during the visit, elevated the bilateral partnership to a "comprehensive strategic partnership" as he said it was necessary to extend the two countries' current trades, mostly in energy sectors, to broader industries and spawn more diverse businesses.

QDB said the delegation represents the country's "vibrant economy" as the participating firms engage in a diverse array of industrial fields. The bank also said it identifies the event as a "critical juncture" to deepen the bilateral economic ties and explore new market frontiers.

The key feature of the event, according to the bank, is a session dedicated to providing Korean firms with high-level consultations on import procedures and conditions as they opt to trade with Qatari firms.

Established in 1997, QDB's main objective is to develop investments within Qatar's local industries and accelerate growth and economic diversification through its support for private sectors. It is in line with the country's national campaign, Qatar National Vision 2030.

Qatar Tourism launches Education Campaign in partnership with Qatar Foundation

News Published on

Qatar Tourism has launched an education campaign in collaboration with Qatar Foundation and Qatar University to promote Qatar as a world-class education hub. The campaign targets students and parents in the region and is designed to showcase why they should consider studying in Qatar. 

Qatar Tourism has launched an education campaign in collaboration with Qatar Foundation and Qatar University to promote Qatar as a world-class education hub. The campaign targets students and parents in the region and is designed to showcase why they should consider studying in Qatar.

Qatar aims to showcase the country’s leading accredited university offerings and how it can open a world of opportunities for students by providing internationally recognised degrees from top-level universities.

As part of the campaign, CNN, one of the most widely distributed news channels in the world, visited Qatar to film its educational institutes and interview current students - this will be featured in 30- and 60-second videos on the platform. The campaign will also include other digital advertisements to ensure maximum reach across the region.   

Chief Operating Officer of Qatar Tourism, Berthold Trenkel, said: “Qatar has always understood the power of education and has therefore heavily invested to ensure the educational landscape in the country is international, cutting-edge, and diverse. Qatar has a dynamic university offering, and through this campaign, we will be able to highlight what makes Qatar the right choice for university education. Qatar uniquely combines globally renowned education with a rich culture, safe environment, world-class facilities, social stability, and excellent employment opportunities.”

Qatar Foundation (QF) has created a globally unique, multidisciplinary ecosystem of education, with its Education City being home to branch campuses of seven of the world’s leading universities, as well as QF’s homegrown Hamad Bin Khalifa University.

Hend Zainal, Executive Director of Strategy, Management, and Partnerships at QF’s Higher Education division, said: “Qatar Foundation’s unique education ecosystem makes studying in Education City an experience that cannot be replicated anywhere else in the world.

“Education City is a true testament to Qatar’s national-level commitment to education. We believe that quality education underpins the development of nations and the realization of individuals and communities’ true potential.

“We are proud of our partnership with Qatar Tourism through this campaign that will showcase the benefits that quality education brings to Qatar, the region, and the world, and we hope that this will position Qatar as a regional hub for education.”

Additionally, Qatar University (QU) continues to serve as the country’s primary institution of higher education. QU has eleven colleges and 94 different programmes and offers quality education to more than 25,000 multinational students at the undergraduate and graduate levels. Qatar University has a substantial pool of skilled and in-demand graduates, a rising number of highly-regarded specialised Masters and Ph.D. programs, and numerous noteworthy research accomplishments.

Dr. Eiman Mustafawi, Vice President for Student Affairs at Qatar University said: “We continue to put forth the effort and commitment necessary to offer a student-centered educational experience that supports our students' academic success and personal development, in alignment with Qatar's higher education standards which are as competitive as those of renowned universities around the world.”

She confirmed that Qatar University stands today as an icon of academic excellence and as the fastest growing university in research in the region. Qatar University’s graduates are professional and competent. It is worth mentioning that each year Qatar University recruits thousands of students, including international students, who comprise no less than 30% of the student population at Qatar University.  

Qatar Tourism is working with partners to ensure that students arriving in Doha discover a vibrant, forward-thinking city filled with world-class attractions and institutions.
