Qatar’s hospitality market demonstrated strong momentum in the second quarter of 2025, with rising occupancy and higher room rates reflecting sustained tourism demand. According to ValuStrat’s latest hospitality insights:
-
Revenues surge: Revenue per available room (RevPAR) rose 21% year-on-year to QAR322, lifted by increased meetings, incentives, conferences, and exhibitions (MICE) activity as well as Eid-related travel.
-
Tourist inflows: Arrivals reached 2.6 million in H1 2025, up 3% compared to last year. GCC nationals accounted for 36% of visitors, underlining regional demand strength.
-
Occupancy and ADR: Hotel occupancy climbed to 71%, a 13% annual increase, while the average daily rate rose 7% to QAR453.
-
Hospitality stock: The country’s inventory stands at 41,240 keys, with nearly 70% concentrated in the 4- and 5-star segment. ValuStrat expects an additional 845 rooms to be delivered in 2025, reinforcing the premium segment.
Tourism remains a strategic pillar of Qatar’s economy, contributing an estimated QAR55 billion ($15bn) to GDP in 2024 — around 8% of the total economy. The latest performance trends highlight not only resilience but also growing competitiveness as Qatar continues to expand its events, leisure, and hospitality offerings in line with its diversification agenda.
