With travel and tourism entering a new era of growth, Qatar Travel Mart (QTM) 2025 invites visitors and professionals alike to experience a world of destinations, ideas, and opportunities under one roof.

Held under the patronage of His Excellency Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani, Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs, this year’s edition of QTM promises to be one of the most significant gatherings for the global travel and hospitality sectors. The event will bring together leading voices from across the industry, uniting them in dialogue, collaboration, and celebration of tourism’s role in connecting cultures and driving sustainable growth.

Building on last year’s strong performance—10,000+ visitors, 300+ exhibitors from 60+ countries, 300+ hosted buyers, and 50+ speakers—QTM 2025 returns with a forward-looking vision for the tourism industry. The event will unite leading travel and hospitality stakeholders to explore key trends across ten sectors, reinforcing QTM’s role in shaping the future of global tourism.

Organized by NeXTfairs and supported by Visit Qatar as Strategic Partner, Katara Hospitality as Founding Partner, The Ned Doha and Retaj Hotels & Hospitality as Platinum Sponsors, West Walk as Gold Sponsor, Qissatec as Silver Sponsor, and Mowasalat as Official Transport Partner, QTM 2025 underscores Qatar’s commitment to becoming a world-class destination for leisure, culture, and business.

Max Binda, Managing Director of The Ned Doha, said: “At The Ned Doha, we take pride in creating a destination that blends heritage, art, and exceptional service. Qatar Travel Mart is a great platform to highlight how Qatar continues to evolve as a global hub for hospitality and culture, and we’re honoured to be part of that journey.”

Medhat Nouby, CEO of Retaj Hotels & Hospitality, added: "This year, Retaj Hotels & Hospitality is proud to participate as a Platinum Sponsor at the Qatar Travel Mart, reaffirming our commitment to Qatar’s tourism vision and to elevating the global profile of Qatari hospitality. The exhibition is a prime platform to showcase Retaj Hotels & Hospitality’s latest projects and regional and international expansion plans, while forging strategic partnerships across the global tourism ecosystem."

As a silver sponsor, Qissatec brings an innovative perspective on how technology can deepen cultural appreciation and enrich the travel experience. Sheikh Suhaim Ahmed S. J. Al Thani, Founder & CEO of Qissatec, said: “At Qissatec, we are passionate about connecting people with the stories behind every place, stories that preserve culture, celebrate heritage, and inspire discovery. From this vision, we created the “Qissatec App”, a platform that transforms every journey into a living story. By combining culture, history, and technology, the app brings destinations to life through authentic narratives, voice, and video experiences that allow users to feel, see, and hear the soul of each place. At Qissatec, we believe that every place has a soul and every journey tells a story. Our mission is to let people experience destinations not just through sights, but through emotions, memories, and the voices of their heritage.”

This year’s exhibition will welcome a diverse range of tourism boards and country pavilions from around the world, offering a vibrant showcase of destinations, experiences, and investment opportunities. Visitors can look forward to discovering new markets, forming meaningful partnerships, and exploring how innovation and collaboration are reshaping the future of global tourism.

A highlight of QTM 2025 will be the QTM Conference, curated in partnership with the World Leisure Organization. The conference will bring together global leaders, innovators, and professionals from the tourism and hospitality sectors to explore the evolution of travel, culture, sustainability, and wellness in an increasingly interconnected world. Across three thematic days, the program will focus on Culture and Heritage, Hospitality and Sustainability, and Events and Wellness Tourism, showcasing how collaboration, innovation, and investment are shaping the future of travel experiences.

The opening day, dedicated to Culture and Heritage Tourism, will celebrate the importance of cultural identity and storytelling in the travel experience. Discussions will explore how destinations can preserve their heritage while embracing modern innovation to create enriching and sustainable visitor experiences. The second day will turn the spotlight on the transformation of the hospitality industry through technology, design, and sustainability, examining how innovation can balance guest experience, profitability, and environmental responsibility. The final day will focus on Events, Wellness, and Health Tourism, exploring how large-scale events and wellness initiatives can promote well-being, stimulate economies, and enhance destination competitiveness on a global scale.

With just one week left to register, QTM 2025 promises to be an unmissable event for professionals, organizations, and travelers passionate about the future of global tourism offering a timely opportunity to share ideas, forge new partnerships, and embraces the modern tourism industry.
