HEARING VOICES

Qatar Tourism’s latest initiative invites global travellers to discover local talents who share perspectives on the country’s contemporary culture and traditions.

Voices of Qatar has been launched in celebration of local talents and their impact on the country’s past, present and future. Through filmed interviews and personal narratives, the latest series of videos offers visitors a fresh and unique perspective on Qatar – its heritage and its contemporary culture.

From master chefs to innovators, artists to sports champions, Voices of Qatar goes behind the scenes with cultural changemakers whose stories on challenges faced, triumphs won and changes made is aimed at inspiring travellers to visit Qatar and experience the waves of their impact.

Available on the Visit Qatar YouTube channel, the latest initiative comes on the heels of Qatar’s impressive achievement of welcoming more visitors in the first eight months of 2023 than in all of 2022, a true reflection of the country’s ability to sustain positive momentum well beyond the FIFA World Cup tournament.

Since the start of the year, Qatar Tourism has launched numerous events and festivals, encouraging travellers to visit. Looking ahead, QT is gearing up to host the Geneva International Motor Show Qatar in October, which promises to be a fully immersive celebration of automotive excellence across the country. ✤
