Qatar Will Host the Prestigious Travel Event Invoyage

This year, Qatar will invite industry experts in travel and events from all over the world to inVOYAGE at the soon-to-be-opened Rixos Gulf Hotel Doha.

For inVOYAGE's luxury incentives and events expo, up to 200 top industry professionals from more than 24 countries will fly into Doha. The event will be held for the first time in Qatar and will be co-hosted by Qatar Airways, Qatar Tourism, Discover Qatar, and Rixos Gulf Hotel Doha. Hosting the event in Qatar highlights the country's expanding status as a center for business and industry gatherings.

The 1973 opening of the "Gulf Hotel," which immediately became a recognizable landmark in the city, led to the construction of the new Rixos Gulf Hotel Doha, a lavish renovation of the old structure. With the help of Accor, Katara Hospitality, and Rixos Hotels, the project will have 378 rooms and suites, seven eating establishments, and cutting-edge technology.

"We are happy to be able to support this top-tier travel event bringing prominent industry professionals to our shores from all over the world," said Berthold Trenkel, Chief Operating Officer of Qatar Tourism. The world's top airline, Qatar Airways, connects directly to more than 150 locations worldwide, making Qatar an attractive and reachable business hub, which is why MICE is one of our main areas of concentration. We have a great selection of hotels, including the gorgeous new Rixos Gulf Hotel Doha, as well as dedicated meeting facilities like the Doha Exhibition and Convention Centre (DECC) and the Qatar National Convention Centre (QNCC).

80% of the world's population lives within a six-hour flight to Qatar, which is a rising hub for important conferences, sporting events, and business events. Qatar hopes to host over six million tourists annually by the year 2030, with over 20% of them being MICE guests.

"We're thrilled to host the very first event of inVOYAGE in Qatar and look forward to hosting this elite group of luxury incentive and events professionals to our new hotel," said Sherif Kasseb, general manager of the Rixos Gulf Doha. Visitors to our hotel will embark on an unforgettable trip filled with mouthwatering cuisine, captivating entertainment, exciting sports and activities, and relaxing spa treatments. Through the All-Inclusive concept we are presenting to the market for the first time, which offers the highest levels of premium services, cutting-edge facilities, and exciting entertainment, Rixos Gulf Hotel Doha is poised to become Doha's most iconic and sought-after destination.

Co-Founder of inVOYAGE Richard Joslin stated: "Our job is to make this event a reality with the aid of fantastic partners and to fill the room with an incredible collection of worldwide events and luxury hospitality experts ready to be inspired and do business. Our guests will become a part of a worldwide community of senior-level professionals with an emphasis on luxury events and incentives while experiencing Qatar's rich culture and its expandingly broad offering for luxury events and incentives.
