The Qatari hotel industry has made impressive progress in the last few years, capitalizing on Qatar's role as a host for international conferences and forums. Hotel industry also benefited from the government's plans to boost tourist activities.

Qatar Tourism Authority (QTA) and Qatar National Hotels Company (QNHC) have actively contributed to this area.

Together with the private sector, QNHC has come a long way in boosting tourism. It has set up a number of tourist facilities, recreational centers, exhibition halls, luxurious hotels, shopping centers, sports centers and museums. 

QNHC has also facilitated procedures for attracting package tours, sports events and business activities. It has carried out the feasibility studies for 25 tourism projects such as:

• Al-Bida Park
•  Refurbishing  Aladdin's Kingdom Fun Park
• Building a hotel in Al Khor
• Building  an 'EcoResort' in Al Ghariyah
