This year, Qatar will welcome travel and events professionals from around the world to inVOYAGE at the soon-to-open Rixos Gulf Hotel Doha.
Up to 200 leading industry professionals from more than 24 countries will arrive in Doha for inVOYAGE’s luxury incentives and events showcase. This is the first time that the event will take place in Qatar. It will be staged in partnership with Rixos Gulf Hotel Doha, Qatar Tourism, Discover Qatar, and Qatar Airways.
The new Rixos Gulf Hotel Doha is a grand refurbishment of a historic building that first opened in 1973 as the Gulf Hotel and quickly became a landmark in the city. The hotel will have 378 rooms and suites and seven dining outlets, blending comfort, style and cutting-edge technology.
Qatar Tourism Chief Operating Officer Berthold Trenkel said they are thrilled to support the top-tier travel event that will bring leading industry figures from around the world. MICE, says Trenkel, is a core focus for tourism as Qatar is connected directly to over 150 destinations by Qatar Airways, which makes the country an ideal and accessible hub for business.
Qatar is a growing hub for major conferences, and sporting and business events, with 80% of the world’s population living within a six-hour flight. By 2030, Qatar aims to welcome over six million visitors a year, with MICE travellers accounting for approximately 20% of them.
