The FIFA World Cup 2022 is going to be hosted in November this year. The event is exciting not only for football fans worldwide but also for the tourism industry in Qatar. After all, this is going to be the Middle East’s very first FIFA, and stakeholders are striving their best to leave visitors with an outstanding Qatar travel experience.
According to Qatar’s Supreme Committee for Delivery and Legacy, Qatar is expected to see nearly 1.5 million visitors, especially football lovers. The event also sees sports bettors who've already started tracking FIFA 2022 odds, like other matches such as NFL Week 1 odds and more.
As the gulf country seems to be falling short of the capacity to accommodate the crowd, neighboring countries, including Oman, UAE, and Bahrain, are preparing to play host. In addition, many other sectors in other countries are trying to help people watch the event in the stadium. For example, FreeD Group has launched exclusive hospitality packages for the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022.
The biggest challenge for Qatar will be to accommodate a large number of foreign tourists while making them leave with an excellent tourist experience. But as this is a great economic opportunity, Qatar has to come up with a solution.
The tourism and construction sectors are expected to be the primary beneficiaries. The government expects a $20 billion income from hosting the FIFA World Cup 2022.
