Qatar Airways showcased at Singapore holiday exhibition

This year-end counterpart to the NATAS Travel exhibition, which takes place every spring, will see participating exhibitors from travel agencies, national tourist associations, hotels, resorts, cruise companies and major airlines.

Following its successful participation in NATAS Travel in March, Qatar Airways will again showcase its destinations and five star services to visitors attending the holiday fair with its 36 sqm state-of-the-art stand.

Qatar Airways Chief Executive Officer, Akbar Al Baker said: "We are keen to establish our presence with travellers and travel agents in the region. In December last year we launched our thrice-weekly services to Singapore, bringing our destinations in the Far East up to eight cities, with further routes from Doha to the region being considered.

"The NATAS holiday fair is visited by travel and tourism officials, travel agents and non-trade visitors from the Far East and Pacific region. It gives us a great opportunity to build on the awareness of Qatar Airways, its superior services and rapidly growing international network.

"This is the time of year when bookings are made for the holiday season, including Christmas and the Chinese New Year, and people are out in force to get inspired by new offers in the market. It is a perfect opportunity to put Qatar Airways and Qatar as a new and exciting holiday destination in the forefront of people's minds.

"With some 150 exhibitors and more than 50,000 visitors expected to the three-day event, NATAS Holiday is the ideal arena to promote Qatar and Qatar Airways," added Al Baker.
