Dragon boat races are becoming a popular team building activity for many companies in the country, Qatar Dragon Boat Festival 2017's event organiser Cherri Lee told Gulf Times.
“We receive more interest, especially from the corporate sector, because this is a very good team building exercise,” she said, noting that several companies in the country are putting up teams and sponsoring their staff to take part in the competition.This year's event, organised by Qatar Dragon Boat at Grand Hyatt Doha on Friday, saw hundreds of paddlers participating in two categories: the ‘recreational league’ (12 teams) and ‘premiere league’ (nine), including a team from the UAE.
