Are the hotels here worried about letting tourists in and getting everything all dirty?

The Tourism Authority must be overjoyed by this news.
If you were a multinational company arranging a conference for 1000 high spending delegates from Western countries, like the recent CITES conference, or a similar UN conference, would you come to Qatar, where almost everyone will need to apply for a visa before travelling, or go to Dubai?

This is going to kill off any chance of establishing a strong MICE industry in Qatar.

Good work guys, yet again.
