"Tourism in Qatar is not about entertainment, but high-end leisure alongside business activities, combined with cultural landmarks and sports events."
"We received 967,000 tourists in 2007. For 2008, as we are still checking the final figures, our estimation is about one million visitors.
So far we did not experience any slowdown in tourism. Our tourism is so far mostly business oriented, with 95 percent of visitors coming to Qatar for business purposes."
I pass no comment on this but just give an observation
that by their own figures only 50,000 came as 'non-business' tourists. Most people I know that have to travel for business just want to fly in, do the business and fly out; a one night stay, sometimes even departing on the same day as arrival. Time is money.
"Deaths in the Bible. God - 2,270,365
not including the victims of Noah's flood, Sodom and Gomorrah, or the
many plagues, famines, fiery serpents, etc because no specific numbers
were given. Satan - 10."
