Meanwhile, Al-Arab newspaper highlighted the importance of HH the Amir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani's visit to Athens.

The newspaper noted that the most significant aspect of this visit lies in the similarity of political visions, particularly regarding the issues of tension in the Middle East.

In the local arena, the Peninsula newspaper pointed out that Qatar’s tourism sector is entering a renewed phase of growth, marked by resilience, reinvention and a clear shift towards year-round destination appeal. Following a temporary slowdown triggered by regional uncertainties, the country is demonstrating how strategic planning and diversified offerings can accelerate recovery and position tourism on a stronger, more sustainable footing.
At the heart of this revival is the launch of the â€کHala Summer’ campaign. By extending activities across several months and curating experiences tailored to families and younger audiences, the country is broadening its tourism base while encouraging longer stays and repeat visits.
The addition of new beaches, recreational spaces and entertainment venues expands the country’s portfolio while enhancing its appeal as a leisure destination, the newspaper said, adding that at the same time, established events such as maritime exhibitions and large-scale festivals reinforce Qatar’s ability to host international audiences and create recurring tourism anchors throughout the year.
The newspaper concluded by noting that early indicators suggest that public interest remains strong. High attendance at recent events and growing engagement with seasonal offerings point to pent-up demand that is now being effectively tapped. This momentum, if sustained, can help restore confidence among investors and stakeholders while reinforcing Qatar’s image as a reliable and dynamic destination. (QNA)
