Doha: Katara Hospitality will mark another milestone in its foray for international affirmation by participating at the World Travel Market (WTM) to be held in London from November 5 to 8.

“The event in London will mark our first presence at an international exhibition after the successful announcement on the company’s re-brand as Katara Hospitality earlier this year,” said Hamad Abdulla Al Mulla, the Chief Executive Officer of the company. 

With a current portfolio of 26 properties operational or under construction, Katara Hospitality has previously announced that the company aims to own 30 hotels by 2016 and 30 more by 2030. 

“With a portfolio of hospitality jewels, we will use this year edition of WTM as a launch pad for our international expansion strategy,” said Al Mulla.

Located within the Global Village (GV200), the exhibition stand of Katara Hospitality will host its prestigious partner hotels in Qatar and abroad. 

As the WTM is perceived as an essential generator of business leads, Marc Strenger, Group Director of Business Development, will be present at the stand to welcome new business opportunities. 

Marc Strenger joined Katara Hospitality in September 2012.  During his twelve year tenure with KPMG Corporate Finance, Strenger has acquired a large experience as a consultant in the real estate and hospitality sector, while enjoying wide international exposure.
