With over 250 exhibitors from 30 countries, the event provided a strategic platform for Visit Qatar to showcase Qatar’s diverse tourism offerings and strengthen industry partnerships in Saudi Arabia.

Visit Qatar led a high-profile delegation to the event, comprising Qatar Airways, Qatar Calendar, leading Qatari hotels, and destination management companies, presenting Qatar’s world-class hospitality, cultural experiences, and bespoke travel packages.
