2023: Growth of tourist flow from Russia by 3 times
In 2023, 69 thousand tourists from Russia visited Qatar, which is three times more than a year earlier. The Russian Union of Travel Industry (PCT) cited such data in February 2024.
According to Kristina Bagatelia, regional manager of Visit Qatar in Russia and the CIS, the growth of Russian tourist flow to Qatar was the result of the low base of 2022.
But now the growth rate is far ahead of the market average. It is especially pleasant that along with the increase in tourist flow, the duration of tourists in Qatar is also increasing, the number of Russians choosing the country as an independent destination for recreation is growing, she said (quoted by the PCT press service). |
Deputy General Director of Pax Liubov Chuchmayeva, whose words are also quoted by the PCT, said that interest in Qatar increased sharply in 2023 after the World Cup. The Pax started Qatar sales in 2017 with 40 tourists a year, and almost all were delayed in Doha briefly during transit flights. And now the company is sending thousands of people there. In 2023, already two-thirds of the total number of tourists who chose Qatar flew for the purpose of beach and excursion tourism for a period of 7 to 14 days, Chuchmaeva noted.
Fun & Sun also noted good growth in the direction. According to the company, in the winter season 2023-2024. the demand for Qatar is 20% ahead of the figure of the same year ago. Head of public relations Olga Ivanova says that they are going to Qatar for the eastern flavor, beach holidays, pleasant weather.
