Through its theme and brand platform “Moments that stay with you”, the campaign also showcases the emotional connections and lasting memories forged during visits to Qatar.

Featuring a modern rendition of Bobby Hebb’s classic song “Sunny”, the campaign will be rolled out across 10 international markets using a variety of platforms that include television, social media, digital channels, press materials, and out-of-home advertising.

Visit Qatar CEO, Eng. Abdulaziz Ali Al Mawlawi, said: “Situated at the crossroads of East and West, Qatar’s strategic location makes it exceptionally accessible. With just a six- to eight-hour flight from most major cities around the world, connecting with over 177 destinations, including the USA, Europe, Africa, Asia, Oceania, and the Middle East. This makes Qatar an ideal choice for visitors seeking a stopover destination or a safe, family-friendly holiday filled with year-round sunshine, adventure, and fun for all.

This campaign is designed to elevate Qatar’s global profile by showcasing its unique attractions and cultural richness ultimately driving increased visitor numbers in line with our strategic tourism objectives.”

Qatar offers everything from relaxing poolside retreats to thrilling adventures with its futuristic skyline, luxurious hotels, pristine beaches, and a plethora of unique experiences. As the ultimate family-friendly destination, Qatar offers a rich blend of activities, entertainment, and luxurious hospitality. The country’s tourism landscape is bolstered by a high safety index ranking, state-of-the-art facilities, an award-winning national carrier and airport, seamless public transport and open tourism visa policies.
