Qatar Chamber hosted Sunday a delegation from the Republic of Armenia, headed by Lusine Gevorgyan, chairman of the Tourism Committee of the Ministry of Economy, and her accompanying delegation.

The delegation was received by Qatar Chamber board member Sheikh Hamad bin Ahmed bin Abdullah al-Thani, who is also chairman of the chamber’s Tourism Committee. The meeting, which was held at the chamber’s headquarters, was also attended by Tigran Gevorgyan, ambassador of the Republic of Armenia to Qatar.

The meeting discussed ways to enhance co-operation between the Qatari and Armenian private sectors in the tourism sector and reviewed the most important areas of co-operation and investment incentives between companies from both sides and the facilities provided by Armenia to attract Qatari investments in the sector.

Sheikh Hamad said the two countries enjoyed close and developed co-operation relations. He expressed his hope to expand co-operation between the two sides through the formation of a small business council that brings together a group of Qatari and Armenian investors and business owners to discuss areas of co-operation and partnership and explore the potential for co-operation between the two sides in all sectors.

He noted that the council will contribute to increasing mutual visits between business owners from the two countries and exploring opportunities for co-operation and partnership in infrastructure, entertainment cities, hotels, services and others.

Gevorgyan said her country looks forward to developing co-operation in the tourism sector with Qatar and to increasing the number of Qatari tourists to Armenia, which offers a variety of tourist places and attracting Qatari investments in all fields, especially the tourism sector.

She invited Qatari business owners to visit Armenia to learn about the available investment climate and opportunities and to participate in events that promote the economy and investment climate in Armenia. She also invited Qatari business owners to participate in the Armenian Touristic Fair, scheduled in November this year in the Armenian Capital, Yerevan.
