Qatar Travel Mart (QTM) 2021, organised by NeXTfairs for Exhibitions and Conferences, has been declared an outstanding success with the overwhelming response it has received from sponsors and partners as well as exhibitors.
Huge footfall over two days has exceeded all predictions with positive feedback from stakeholders and exhibitors alike. Country pavilions and tourism boards were excited to be in Qatar to meet local and international industry leaders.
In particular, exhibitors were using B2B matchmaking tools to boost business connections with other exhibitors and hosted buyers. QTM’s introduction of a B2B matchmaking and lead retrieval platform lived up to its promise to be a precise and efficient online scheduling platform for business meetings.
It assisted exhibitors and hosted buyers to organise productive meetings that led to high-quality leads. Exhibitors using this tool for lead retrieval were happy to see how easy it was to keep records of visitors they met and then follow up for future business.
The event’s high-profile three-day conference also proved a success as it covered topics, such as what the future holds for travel and tourism, new developments, and the recovery efforts of Qatar and the world. Talks and panel discussions shared insights and best practices.
Rawad Sleem, co-founder and general manager of NeXTfairs, said: “Exhibitors are especially pleased with the number of deals that they have generated to boost their businesses and appreciated being able to interact with so many visitors who have attended our first show. QTM has demonstrated how it serves as a platform to attract industry peers and countries from all over the world.
“Our B2B matchmaking platform has proved a great hit with exhibitors and hosted buyers and contributed significantly to their success. We are delighted with the results so far establishing QTM as a significant milestone date in the tourism industry’s calendar moving forward.”
Over 12 countries committed to enacting vibrant cultural performances in the Global Village to celebrate their country’s heritage. These daily performances showcased each country’s heritage, with Indonesia, Thailand, Portugal, Russia, Kyrgyzstan, Dominican Republic, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan all participating.
