Musafir.com, an online travel agency in the UAE, has inaugurated its new office in Doha, Qatar to meet growing travel demands. As informed by a news report in TradeArabia. The office was inaugurated by Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulla Al Thani, co-founder, and chairman of Musafir.com and a member of the Qatari House of Al Thani in presence of eminent guests from the travel fraternity.
Musafir.com’s strong presence in Qatar is part of the organisation’s regional growth strategy and commitment to boost travel and tourism in the country. It enables the organisation to facilitate Qatar Tourism’s goal of attracting six million visitors by 2030 and raising the tourism industry’s contribution to the nation’s GDP to 10% by the same year. Musafir.com has seen two-fold growth post COVID and will invest in technology to drive seamless experiences for both leisure and corporate clients.
