For Friday October 14: Travel professionals will experience the best of Qatar at this Saturday’s National Travel Industry Awards (NTIAs) 2022 event thanks to the generous support of 3 arrival sponsors.

As the country gets ready for the FIFA World Cup, Qatar Airways, Qatar Tourism and Discover Qatar will be showcasing what the increasingly popular destination has to offer for travel businesses and their clients, from unique tours and excursions to major events and educational travel, plus a rapidly growing market for MICE travel.

Quote from Dean Long, CEO AFTA:
“AFTA is excited to announce Qatar Airways, Qatar Tourism and Discover Qatar as our Arrival Sponsors. We’re working with these three partners to kickstart our NTIA celebration by transporting us over 12,000km away – members and guests can look forward to a taste of the best Qatar has to offer, from its heritage to the current cosmopolitan culture, vibrant sporting calendar and enchanting landscapes.”

Quote from Justin Kestel, Regional Manager – Australia and New Zealand, Qatar Airways 
“Qatar Airways is delighted and thrilled to be an integral part of this sponsorship on arrival. We are honoured to be celebrating amongst our peers of Travel and upcoming events after a two year pause, and look forward to being the opening step in welcoming all guests on the night.”

Quote from Richard Styles, Regional Sales Director Australia and New Zealand, Qatar Tourism
“Qatar Tourism is honoured to be an arrival sponsor of the NTIA gala dinner, and we are looking forward to celebrating with everyone on the night.”

Quote from Steven Reynolds, SVP Discover Qatar
“Travel journalists bring to life destinations and inspire visitors to discover many cities otherwise unexplored. This is especially true in Australia, where COVID-19 restrictions have put a halt on travel for quite some time. It continues to be important for us to support the Australian travel trade and media industry, enabling its citizens to uncover the world. The journalist’s creativity greatly influences travellers to choose their next destination through their imaginative and captivating writing. It’s all about keeping people connected, and this ties well into our mission in Qatar, as we bring people together through our hub, enabling Doha to grow into one of the world’s fastest emerging tourist destinations. It is with great honour that I present the prize of ‘Most Outstanding Consumer Travel Journalist’ during the National Travel Industry Awards this year.”
