Qatar hotel options to multiply in 2015 amid rising visitor numbers. Some 20 news hotels and hotel apartments are slated to open in Qatar this year, dramatically increasing the number of accommodation options in the country’s rapidly growing tourism sector, local officials say.
Toscana Venture Rendering of the Mondrian Doha. While no specific properties were mentioned, new hotels slated to open in Qatar this year include a Westin on Salwa Road as well as the Mondrian Doha in West Bay Lagoon. Meanwhile, the 317-room Melia Doha officially announced the opening of its property inside the Bin Samikh Tower in West Bay last week. The Qatar Tourism Authority (QTA) says the new facilities will collectively add 4,000 new guest rooms to the country’s existing stock of nearly 16,000 rooms.
That’s an expected spike of roughly 25 percent, or more than three times the rate at which visitor numbers are increasing. That would be an improvement on the sector’s performance in 2014, when occupancy rates averaged 71 percent, up from 61 percent a year earlier, according to QTA. Travel and Tourism in Qatar. Qatar as a transit hub Recent years have seen Qatar gain momentum as a transit hub, mainly due to Qatar Airways’ expanding route network, including long-haul destinations in the Far East, as well as in Australasia and the Americas, with passengers connecting via Doha.
This has created a large stopover market for the Peninsula and has positioned Qatar well on the global tourism map. In response, travel retailers have introduced stopover packages in a bid to encourage tourists to see the country and experience some of its activities and attractions, in the hope that they will return or at least generate positive word-of-mouth publicity. Business is booming Qatar is increasingly positioned as a business hub in the Middle East, competing with countries such as Dubai and Abu Dhabi. FIFA preparations lead to oversupply As Qatar prepares for the 2022 FIFA World Cup, hotels are rushing to supply the country with enough rooms to cater for the large number of visitors expected during the event.
