The Undersecretary of the Minister of Commerce and Industry Sultan bin Rashid Al- Khater officially inaugurated the event in the presence of Qatar Tourism Chairman and Qatar Airways Group Chief Executive Akbar Al Baker and other officials.

Sri Lankan Embassy in Doha participated at this exhibition for the second time. The Embassy in collaboration with the Sri Lanka Tourism Promotion Bureau and Sri Lanka Tea Board participated at the show promoting Sri Lanka as a vibrant and a unique travel destination.

The Ambassador of Sri Lanka to the State of Qatar Mafaz Mohideen including ambassadors of the participating countries and few Sri Lankan community leaders were present at the launch of the Sri Lanka pavilion at Hospitality Qatar which was vibrant and filled with culture and the essence of Sri Lanka.

The main objective of the participation at this event was to attract the participants as individuals and tour operators to Sri Lanka as a beloved travel destination with world class wellness resorts, luxury and historical and contemporary wonders, blessed with nature and rich culture.

A large number of travellers and travel operators visited the Sri Lanka pavilion. The traditional Sri Lankan dances filled with glamour were performed by the students of the Stafford Sri Lanka School Doha.
