Qatar Extends Stopover Package

Qatar Tourism Authority and Qatar Airways have announced that they will continue to offer their stopover package until the end of the year, following the excellent results from phase one. The offer—part of a broader +Qatar campaign—encourages all transit passengers to add Qatar to their travel plans and provides transit passengers with an opportunity to discover the country, Menafn.com reported.  The offering includes free luxury hotel stays and complimentary transit visas. Initially planned to run from May until the end of summer, the offer will now continue until December 31. During the initial period, the country welcomed 34% more transit passengers compared to the same period in 2016. QTA and Qatar Airways further announced that the offer will now be extended to passengers booking their travel through tour operators, allowing more people to benefit from the offer of a free overnight stay in a luxury hotel or a two-night stay for the discounted price of $100.  In addition to the hotel accommodation, QTA and Qatar Airways are offering a free stopover city tour that can be booked on arrival at Hamad International Airport.
