The Qatar pavilion showcased a strong delegation of leading private sector partners, including Qatar Airways, destination management companies and other hospitality suppliers, providing a comprehensive one-stop welcoming service to meet with China travel trade.
Rashed al Qurese, chief marketing officer QNTC, said: “China is a key source market for us and we hope to continue building this relationship. In 2018, we saw significant growth in the number of Chinese visitors to Qatar, with over 62,000 visitors in 2018. We saw a 38 percent growth from the previous year.
He added, “We’re delighted to work with our partners in China to share Qatar’s unique experiences with a wider audience.”
The delegation’s participation is part of QNTC’s efforts to shed light on Qatar’s unique experiences and promote the country as a tourism destination among travel professionals and tourism industry leaders in China. The award-winning national carrier, Qatar Airways, currently connects Doha to six cities in mainland China - Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Chengdu, Chongqing and Hangzhou.
A B2B travel exhibition exclusively focused on the Chinese Travel Market, ITB China, inaugurated in 2017, has established itself as one of the leading travel trade shows in the country.
This year’s exhibition hosted more than 850 top buyers from more than 300 travel agencies, representing the full range of China’s largest industry players. In attendance were industry professionals from all around the world.

In March, QNTC participated in the Moscow International Travel & Tourism Exhibition (MITT) 2019 for the first time, where it received the ‘Best Stand Design Award’.
