Travel and tourism are among the industries offering more opportunities and most in-demand jobs in Qatar.

Qatar is full of historical and modern attractions – there’s something for everyone here! Plus, Doha, the capital, is one of the fastest developing cities in the Middle East region.

With a population of about 2 million people, the country will be the first Arab state to host the FIFA World Cup in 2022. A total of 12 environment-friendly stadiums will be constructed for this purpose – several of which will be capable of catering up to 80,000 people.

What’s more? A staggering 1.5 million visitors are expected to arrive in the country and the increase of tourists boosts Qatar’s tourism and drives strong economic growth.

Thus, being one of the licensed tour guides in Qatar during the world’s largest football tournament to ever happen in the country will take you forward to more rewarding opportunities.
