Hospitality Qatar, the annual global hospitality and HORECA trade show is set to kick off its fifth edition on Tuesday at the Doha Exhibition and Convention Center.
The three-day event, held under the patronage of HE Ali bin Ahmed al Kuwari, Minister of Commerce and Industry, is organised by IFP Qatar in partnership with Qatar National Tourism Council (QNTC) for the second consecutive year.
The event, which includes the exhibition, a CPD-certified conference, certified training sessions, specialized live competitions and B2B matchmaking programmes, will provide top hospitality stakeholders including hoteliers, restauranteurs, cafe operators and tourism experts with a bigger and wider platform to unlock business opportunities in Qatar’s competitive and ever-growing tourism and hospitality sector.
Haidar Mshaimesh, General Manager of IFP Qatar, said, “We are excited to open this year’s edition of Hospitality Qatar and welcome the exhibitors and visitors over the next three days as we expand our halls to accommodate several new additions to the show.
“We are looking forward to welcome exhibitors and visitors from the local, regional and international hospitality markets and explore the country’s offerings and opportunities for business.”
Apart from increasing its space to 100 percent from previous year, the organisers are set to introduce several new initiatives during the event which include the dedicated exhibition zones.
The “destination pavillion” zone is sponsored by Qatar Airways and the “luxury tourism” zone will be run in association with Luxury Trade & Marketing Group (LT&MG).
In addition, the event will also offer for the first time a free of charge certified training programme for hospitality professionals to promote leading best practices among industry practitioners.
The oraginsers are expecting a total of 228 exhibitors and seven international pavilions from 33 participating countries, representing the various aspects of the hospitality industry such as hotels and facilities, interiors and design, entertainment and leisure, travel and tourism, resorts and outdoor landscape, HORECA technologies and equipment, ecologically-friendly hotels systems and solutions, and food and beverages.
