Aimed to connect local travel agents with destination management companies, hotels, and attraction operators in Qatar, Qatar Tourism conducted its first roadshow in India since the pandemic. The events in Delhi and Mumbai witnessed the participation of over 120 travel industry companies from Delhi and Mumbai.

The interactive platform with pre-scheduled meetings allowed Indian trade partners and travel agents to interact and learn more about the diverse product offerings and experiences that Qatar has to offer.

Qatar Tourism drew industry and visitor attention to the infrastructure, attractions, and amenities being built for the prestigious FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022, which the country will host in November and December this year.

The roadshow saw the presence of some distinguished partners from Qatar showcasing their product and services to industry specialists in India at large – hotels such as Zulal Wellness Resort by Chiva Som, The Ritz-Carlton Doha, Waldorf Astoria Lusail Doha, Mondrian Doha, Mandarin Oriental Doha, Hilton Salwa Beach Resort & Villas, Banana Island Resort Doha by Anantara, The Westin Doha Hotel & Spa, Four Seasons Doha and Sheraton Grand Doha Resort & Convention Hotel. DMCs such as Discover Qatar, Tawfeeq Holidays, Asfary, 365 Adventures by Peninsula Compass Tourism and Mannai Holidays. The primary participants with an emphasis on sports included event firms like Fanatic Sports and Cutting-Edge.

Berthold Trenkel, chief operating officer, Qatar Tourism, said: “India plays an integral role to achieve the sights Qatar Tourism has set for the 2030 strategy. India continues to be one of Qatar’s top markets, and we effectively engage with the travel trade on a regular basis.”

The tourism board has now rolled out Qatar Specialist Programme, an interactive online training module available in 11 languages. The module has been initiated to help travel trade partners better understand Qatar’s diverse product offerings while also providing them with relevant knowledge and a globally recognised qualification, Trenkel added.

The post Recovery on track: Middle East air passenger traffic near pre-pandemic levels appeared first on TD (Travel Daily Media) Travel Daily.

Air passenger traffic in the Middle East and South Asia has recovered in the second quarter (Q2) of the year to approximately 85% of Q2 2019 seat capacity, according to the Airports Council International (ACI) Asia-Pacific’s Industry Outlook.

Meanwhile, passenger level in Emerging East Asia (China, Mongolia and Democratic People’s Republic of Korea) is at just 15% of 2019 Q2 seat capacity as China adopted a ‘Zero-Covid’ approach and renewed lockdowns, said the second edition of the Industry Outlook developed in partnership with Mott MacDonald.

The outlook provides a snapshot of airport business performance across the region with a short-term analysis of the key industry trends.

ACI Asia Pacific Director General Stefano Baronci, said: “As a result of a successful vaccination campaign that covers an average of 74% of the population across the region, travel restrictions are being gradually phased out across the region, fuelling strong demand for air travel. Though 2022 looks to be a more positive year for the sector, there will be bumps in our road to recovery especially in consideration of the uncertain macroeconomic scenario.”

“As part of our efforts to further enhance airports’ role of engines of economic and social progress in a safe and sustainable manner, ACI Asia-Pacific, at the recent ICAO 57th Conference of Directors General of Civil Aviation for Asia and Pacific Regions in Incheon, Republic of Korea, urged the regulators to work closely with the industry to enhance manpower and operations to ensure a smooth traveller experience and harmonise as much as possible health protocols. ACI Asia-Pacific will continue to work with our members to help the industry build back stronger,” he added.
