(MENAFN) Qatar Tourism (QT) celebrated the successful conclusion of its "Feel Winter in Qatar" campaign at its annual Ghabga. Thousands of people participated in the celebrations that took place from January to March. Director of Shared Services Omar Al Jaber said that the campaign was targeted and helped to make the best of Qatar's winter sun. The campaign featured a variety of events like the Qatar Balloon Festival, Qatar Live, Doha Jewellery and Watches Exhibition, Qatar International Food Festival, and Shop Qatar.
Qatar Balloon Festival's third edition marked the launch of the "Feel Winter in Qatar" campaign. This was followed by the Qatar Live concert series, which included performances by John Legend, Disney Princess: The Concert, and the legendary Circus 1903. According to Qatar Tourism data from January and February, over 730,000 international arrivals were recorded in Qatar. Most of the visiting tourists were from Saudi Arabia, followed by India, Germany, Oman, Kuwait, Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates, among others.
The data for January and February showed a significant increase compared to 2021 and 2022. In January, Qatar welcomed 340,000 international visitors, which was 295% higher than 86,000 in 2022. In February, 389,000 visitors were tallied, which was 406% higher compared to 2022, which was 77,000. In February, the 19th edition of the Doha Jewellery and Watches Exhibition was held, and in March, the 12th edition of the Qatar International Food Festival was organized and hosted at Lusail Boulevard for the first time.
Last month, Shop Qatar, the country's largest shopping festival, made its return to venues across the country. The distinctive Paw Patrol Festival at Place Vendôme also fell under the Shop Qatar umbrella. The festival featured a live stage with larger-than-life figures. The current campaign running is "Feel Ramadan in Qatar," where an array of Ramadan-related events and activities for the whole family will be held during the holy month. The QT is offering fantastic deals on hotel accommodations, Iftar and Suhoor dinners, and an Eid Al Fitr celebration that families will never forget.
