Qatar, which is expecting around 1.2 million international visitors for the ongoing Fifa World Cup is falling back on cruise ships to tide over an acute accommodation crunch.
Data shows that the organisers have less than 100,000 rooms at their disposal and services of three cruise ships have been enlisted to accommodate thousands of fans who have been facing hard times because of lack of hotel rooms for the marquee event, which started on November 20 and ends on December 18.
