00:00 "We have had a very special first quarter of the year.
00:06 We have had almost 2 million visitors, which is unprecedented in the past five years.
00:13 This has encouraged us to work harder to attract more visitors and provide unique experience.
00:24 This is reflected in our vision of Qatar Tourism and its tourism strategy,
00:30 which is a key element of the national development strategy.
00:37 By 2030, we will have 6 million visitors annually.
00:43 This will increase the tourism sector's share of the total income by 12%,
00:54 double the number of jobs in this sector, and increase the local expenditure within the country."
