In the online poll conducted by the Arabic daily, 75 percent of the respondents said that the internal tourism in the country is not growing much. 18 percent said that they were satisfied with the tourism here while seven percent remained neutral to the issue.
The country is witnessing much development in the tourism sector through the boom in hotel and residential complex according to Shaheen Al Subaie. "But other infrastructural developments like water theme and children’s park are very less. Themed parks like Disney attract lots of tourists to other countries in the region."
The authorities have done a good work with the zoo but more such places needs to be opened up according to him. The hotel prices here is reasonable but more such places need to be opened up.
Abdul latheef Al Mana said the tourism of the country has increased. "The current developments are attracting more and more people. The over crowding in souq areas now was not seen few years ago," he said. "Qatar needs to develop its costal area. The country has an excellent coastal belt which many countries long to have. This should be given a special importance and exploited in a good way."
Historical sites are almost neglected according to him. "These places should be given special emphasis. The traffic in the city should also be brought under control as it would have heavy impact on tourism." He applauded the high airfare as it helps to keep all in the country itself the daily reported.
