This was mainly due to increased tourists visits from GCC countries.

Key drivers

Qatar is now seen as a transit hub which is one of the main reasons as to why travel retailers have introduced good stopover packages in an attempt to encourage tourists to visit the country, and see its attractions and other activities it has to offer. Qatar is also now being viewed as a business hub of the Middle East which is driving more and more trade events, conferences, exhibitions, etc. to take place. Sports events have also been a major attraction for tourists, while full-fledged preparations for World Cup 2022 is also bringing in business.

Market outlook
