Doha Port set to receive record number of tourists

From 4,000 passengers in 2015, Doha Port has achieved a “record high number of tourists” with expectations of 60,000 passengers in 2017, Qatar Ports Management Company (Mwani Qatar) said in a statement on Twitter yesterday. The goal is to reach 500,000 passengers by 2022, it added. Doha Port will welcome 21 ships for the 2017-2018 cruise season, Qatar Tourism Authority had announced earlier. Some of these have already arrived in Doha over the past couple of months, including a mega ship.
