Doha strengthened its ranking as popular convention destinations as the city moved up by 49 positions to the 111thposition with Florence, Riga and San Juan.
This list includes over 360 participating cities in the recently released ICCA (International Congress and Convention Association) 2012 Country and City Rankings. The rankings are based on the number of international association meetings that rotate between a minimum of three countries.
Adam Mather-Brown, general manager of QNCC, said: “Qatar is actively developing its business tourism product in terms of destination appeal, improving infrastructure, and investing in world class accommodation. We are working hand-in-hand with suppliers, hoteliers and relevant authorities to build awareness of the destination and increase number of business tourism events.”
