DOHA: A senior delegation representing Qatar Tourism Authority (QTA) will take their agenda to develop the tourism in the country to an international platform at the 38th meeting of the UN World Tourism Authority Commission for the Middle East, and the 20th session of the UNWTO General Assembly. The meeting will be held until August 29 in Livingstone and Victoria Falls in Zambia and Zimbabwe.
Attended by ministers, policymakers and tourism industry leaders, the General Assembly is the meeting point for the UNWTO’s 156 member states. The meeting addresses the state of the global tourism sector and mainstreaming tourism in the global agenda.
Qatar’s participation in this important international tourism meeting demonstrates the strong positioning of the country in this growing sector of the economy. It is an opportunity to share, learn and discuss developments in the global tourism sector with peers from around the world.
QTA representatives will speak about the strides made by Qatar and the Authority to further develop the tourism sector in the country.
QTA recently entered into a framework agreement with UNWTO which consists of implementing action plans – from preparing and reviewing tourism policies and legislation in line with international best practice, to achieving all the set requirements for sustainable tourism projects and facilities in Qatar.
Qatar has been a member of UNWTO, a specialised agency of the UN, since 2002.
