On behalf of World Travel Awards, I wish you all a very warm welcome to our GrandFinal Gala Ceremony 2011, the climax of our year-long search to find the very besttravel brands in the world, covering sevencontinents and featuring more than 5,000nominees.

Now the competition has been whittleddown to the elite few – the winners fromeach of our five regional ceremonies – andwe are honoured to have such a pool ofincredible travel talent gathered here in Doha this evening.

I am particularly honoured that Qatar hasstepped up to host this year’s Grand Final,our very first in this great nation.

I am sure that all our guests this evening aregaining an insight into why Qatar is rapidlyestablishing itself as a world-class tourismdestination for leisure, business, culture and sport. This forward-thinking approach is exemplified by our venue this evening,Katara Cultural Village, which is spearheadingQatar’s cultural and artistic evolution.

For World Travel Awards, the past year has proved the most ambitious yet in our19-year history. I am pleased to report thatthe number of organisations nominated forthe “Oscars of the Travel Industry” has risen14 percent year-on-year.

Meanwhile the number of voters rose 11 percent year-on-year, driven by a surge in consumer voting. This reflects how the public now rely increasingly onWorld Travel Awards as their gold seal oftravel excellence.

Winning a World Travel Award is the ultimate travel accolade, with theendorsement of more than 213,000 voting travel professionals demonstrating to both the travel industry and the travelconsumer that your brand stands in a class of its very own.

I wish to extend a special thank you to ourdestination partner Qatar Tourism Authorityand its vision to help bring World TravelAwards to Doha. I would also like to thankour event partners BBC World News andWeClickMedia, as well as our media partnersTTN Middle East, Trade Arabia, eTurboNews,TravelDailyNews and Breaking Travel News.

Qatar can justifiably claim 2011as the year it came of age in theglobal travel arena.

Following the FIFA announcement in late2010 that the country would become thefirst in the Middle East to host the footballWorld Cup in 2022, a four-decade longprocess of development was given freshimpetus.

Infrastructure is being developed, stadiumsplanned, hotels designed, airports built andports created, in what is now one of themost forward-looking communities onearth.

Developments on the ground

As Qatar gears up for the World Cup, morethan 140 major projects are currentlyunderway with a particular focus ontransportation infrastructure.

Billions have been spent upgrading theextensive road networks connecting thecountry to the rest of the Middle East, whilethe $25 billion, 2,200 kilometre QatarNational Rail Scheme will link to the six-stateGCC Railway network from 2017.

Among the most exciting developments isLusail City situated to the north of Doha. Thevisionary project will see the creation of adistinctive 21st century city which celebratesthe special cultural and geographical heritageof Qatar. It will eventually be home to around

250,000 people with amenities includingmarinas, shopping and leisure facilities, twogolf courses and a special district dedicated toentertainment.

The 86,000 seat Lusail Iconic Stadium willhost the opening match and final of the2022 FIFA World Cup.

Also, the first phase of the new $4.4 billionDoha Port will also be functioning by 2014,while the Qatar-Bahrain FriendshipCauseway will cut journey times betweenthe two neighbours from 4.5 hours to 30minutes when completed in 2015.

Finally, the new Qatar National ConventionCentre will also add a whole new dynamic tothe national offering following its opening inDecember.

Qatar

The Museum of Islamic Art is oneof the main attractions in Doha.


In the skies over Qatar

Qatar Airways has been instrumental inthese developments.

The carrier presently has orders worth overUS$40 billion for more than 200 aircraft,including Boeing 787s, 777s, AirbusA350s, A380s, A320 and Bombardiercorporate jets with plans to serve morethan 120 key business and leisuredestinations worldwide by 2013.

Already on offer are 100 destinationsacross Europe, Middle East, Africa, AsiaPacific, North America and South America,with the rapid expansion of Qatar Airwaysprompting the Qatari government toembark on one of its biggest projects – theconstruction of a brand new internationalairport in Doha, which is scheduled to openlater this year.

Tourism

It is tourism where Qatar has really assertedits authority – growing to rival theestablished powerhouses of the United ArabEmirates.

Occupancy rates for all hotels in the countryreached 63 per cent in the first six months of2011 compared to 61 per cent for the sameperiod in 2010, according to the QatarTourism Authority (QTA).

As QTA Chairman, Ahmed Al Nuaimi, recentlyexplained, that despite the increase in thenumber of hotels, the surge in occupancy

rates was spurred by the greater number oftourists, the steady strong performance ofthe national economy and the governmentfocus on developing cultural and sporttourism.

Qatar also currently leads hotel growth in theMiddle East, with 77 new hotels and 42 hotelapartments under construction in thedestination, scheduled to bring a total of21,107 new rooms into the local hospitalitymarket over the next few years.

Ritz Carlton’s Sharq Village & Spa in Doha,Marriott Executive Apartments Doha CityCenter and Wyndham Grand Regency Dohaare among some of the most excitingdevelopments, but the chasing pack ensuresstandards can only rise.

World Travel Awards

That is what we are here to celebratetonight at the annual World Travel AwardsGrand Final; excellence in this most vibrantof industries.

Winners from around the globe join us hereafter five regional heats to see who will berecognised as the best in the world.

Even in tough times these select few areset to shine and what better place tohonour their success than here in Qatar.
