This has led to a massive boom in economic activity attracting investors and professionals in large numbers to cities like Doha. It has naturally pushed up the demand for quality hotels."

The demand for top-end hotel accommodations is expected to double by an additional 8,500 rooms by 2010 in Qatar. Room rates have already doubled in the past 12 months as people flock to Doha for business and conferences. Average room occupancy too has risen from 69% in 2003 to over 80% recently. More and more leisure tourists are coming to the destination attracted by the luxurious surroundings of planned marinas, quality hotels, beaches and shopping and entertainment districts.
