Qatar Tourism announced a historic achievement of five million visitors for the year 2024

Qatar Tourism proudly announces a historic achievement as the country achieves five million visitors for 2024. This milestone represents a 25% increase in international arrivals over 2023, confirming Qatar's status as a major global tourism destination.

GCC nationals account for 41% of tourists, with the remaining 59% from overseas markets. Key source markets, such as the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, India, the United Kingdom, Germany, and the United States of America, saw significant growth, reflecting Qatar's diverse appeal.

The number of visitors have increased steadily throughout the year, with notable peaks at the beginning and end of 2024. The AFC Asian Cup in January set the tone for a record-breaking year, which culminated in the start of a robust 2024/2025 cruise season, the Formula 1 Qatar Grand Prix, and record visitor numbers from Saudi Arabia during the November school holidays.
