Qatar Tourism Authority (QTA ) Chairman Akbar Al Baker expects Qatar to welcome more than five million visitors in 2023, despite the slowdown in the sector following the FIFA World Cup.
Qatar Airways Chief Executive Akbar Al Baker acknowledged the decline in hotel business after the World Cup ended on December 19. He stressed that all the countries that hosted the World Cup experienced a similar situation after the tournament, but hotels are still 65-70 percent full.
Al Baker explained that 1.16 million visitors were registered in the first quarter of 2023, expecting at least five million visitors during this year.
