The Tourism Information Centre, set up at the Abu Samra border crossing by Qatar Tourism Authority (QTA), is witnessing greater activity during the eighth edition of Qatar International Food Festival (QIFF).
The annual event is timed to coincide with the spring break of Qatar’s neighbouring source markets, according to QTA.
The centre provides visitors with all they need to know about the 11-day festival, as well as other events and experiences they can enjoy throughout their stay.
In addition, Qatar International Adventures, Regency Travel & Tours and Katara Hospitality are also presenting their services to provide visitors with a seamless experience, with representatives on hand to help facilitate visitors’ stay, starting from hotel accommodation to outdoor excursions.
“At QTA we aim to enhance the visitor’s complete tourism experience. As QIFF draws visitors from around the region who seek to savour the different flavours of Qatar, it is our pleasure to offer all visitors and neighbours a smooth and welcoming experience from the moment they arrive until they return home,” QTA’s public relations and communication director Saif al-Kuwari said.
“We are grateful for the collaborative spirit shown by our various private sector partners and government agencies to make these centres possible,” he added.
Another QTA kiosk has opened in the transit area of Hamad International Airport (HIA), offering an opportunity to the 30mn travellers passing through the airport to experience Qatar virtually through a video telescope showing 360-degree videos of the destination.
QTA also hosts a photo booth, where visitors can eternalise their memories of Qatar, and visitor brochures available in six languages.
The opening of the kiosk follows the recent introduction of a free transit visa, which allows passengers of all nationalities with a minimum transit time of five hours at HIA to stay in the country for up to four days.
