Visit Qatar has launched a new destination campaign called ‘Hayyakum Qatar.’
The campaign showcases Qatar’s diverse attractions and invites GCC nationals and residents to experience Qatar this winter season.
It highlights four main angles, each of which is reflected by images of specific destinations or events.
The campaign humorously tracks a family visiting from the region as they explore what Qatar has to offer and celebrates the experience with the messages: ‘Here’s to Your Joy, Here’s to Your Gatherings, Here’s to Your Laughter, and Here’s to Your Excitement.’
The video depicts the close bond between GCC countries and the warm hospitality that Qatar extends to its neighbours.
Abdulaziz Ali Al-Mawlawi, Chief Marketing and Promotion Officer at Qatar Tourism said: “We are thrilled to reveal this special campaign to everyone across the GCC.
“Qatar demonstrated its hospitality to millions of visitors last year and we are proud to continue welcoming even greater numbers this year from the region and beyond.
“Our eased travel policies, which include no visa requirements for GCC nationals and simplified processes through the Hayya application, mean that visitors can seamlessly travel to Qatar while choosing to arrive through land, sea or air.
“Our ‘Hayyakum Qatar’ campaign highlights the exciting experiences we have for visitors and the family-friendly fun that guests can enjoy during our beautiful winter season.”
