In partnership with Visit Qatar, VFS Global’s Tourism Services Unit presents the second edition of the ‘Qatar Incentive Programme’ for 2024, exclusively for travel agents and tour operators from the UAE. The initiative highlights the significance of the UAE market for Qatar and aims to boost the country’s tourism sector.
Qatar stands as a must-visit family-friendly tourist destination, offering travellers a seamless mix of tradition and innovation through attractions and events all year round. Visit Qatar’s summer campaign this year, ‘Your Summer Starts Here’ takes visitors through a plethora of touristic offerings, from pristine beaches and natural wonders to indoor entertainment including shopping, gastronomy, and theme parks.
Under this exclusive incentive program, travel agents in the UAE can earn rewards for each package sold with a minimum of three nights stay in Qatar. The sales duration for this edition is from August to December 2024. This offer provides travel agents with the opportunity to secure holiday plans for their clients in one of the Middle East’s most captivating destinations.
Fadi Mouaqat, Senior Manager International Markets – Middle East & Africa at Visit Qatar, said: “Visit Qatar is delighted to partner with VFS Global’s Tourism Services Unit to launch the second edition of the Qatar Incentive Programme this year. In the first half of 2024, visitors from the GCC made up 43% of all international arrivals to Qatar, with over 75, 000 travellers from UAE. We believe this initiative will further encourage more travellers from the UAE to explore Qatar. We welcome visitors to experience Visit Qatar’s great line up of events in the second half of the year, including the Formula 1 Qatar Airways Qatar Grand Prix 2024.”
GB Srithar, Head of Tourism Services at the VFS Global, said, “We are thrilled to launch the second edition of the Qatar Incentive Programme edition for travel agents in the UAE to promote Qatar holiday packages from summer to year end winter break. The first edition was a success and we are happy to collaborate with Visit Qatar for the return of the programme and work with the travel agents to drive visitorship to Qatar.”
