'We have around 27,000 members from all categories of the public in Qatar, from CEOs to ambassadors to teachers to housewives. Our members are very much engaged with our tours. They attend our exhibitions, participate in workshops and special events, and take advantage of special offers and discounts in cafes, Fahad Al Obaidly, Membership Coordinator, told The Peninsula.
Since its launch in 2014, Culture Pass has made Qatar's vibrant culture and arts scene much more accessible to the public through big discounts in QM outlets as well as free access to many of its events and activities. With the rollout of Culture Pass Plus and Culture Pass Family membership in March, the scope of the benefits have been made wider and more inclusive.
'Basically we want to get Qataris and residents even tourists closer to all the beautiful things Qatar has to offer, from archaeological sites to public art tours to art exhibitions and the Culture Pass is the way to get closer to these, so Culture Pass has become channel for Qatar to promote culture and heritage and engage the public with what we do, said Al Obaidly.
Al Obaidly added Culture Pass has been an effective way to expose Qatari culture and heritage in particular and art in general to the public in various formats such as tours, exhibitions, workshops and master classes.
