The combined Project/Hospitality Qatar will get underway here from Monday, setting the stage for multiple opportunities under one roof.

The four-day expo, which is being held at the Doha Exhibition and Convention Centre, will welcome more than 300 exhibiting companies, distributed among 180 global firms from 30 different countries, seven of which will participate in official national pavilions, along with 120 Qatari companies from major government and semi-governmental agencies and prominent private sector entities.The exhibition, which will run from 2pm to 9pm, is expected to be the last major international trade event before the FIFA World Cup 2022, which will be held in November-December.Project Qatar, now in its 18th year, is the country's first and oldest business fair for construction and related industries. Hospitality Qatar, now in its seventh edition this year, is the only trade fair in Qatar for the hospitality and HORECA (food service and hotel industries) sectors and is considered the most prominent and oldest exhibition directed towards the local, regional, and international companies working in the tourism and hospitality sector."Combining the two strongest exhibitions in the local market before the commencement of the FIFA World Cup represents a good period for entities and exhibitors to seize the opportunities and build alliances and commercial partnerships in the construction and hospitality sectors at the same time,” said Haidar Mshaimesh, general manager of IFP Qatar, which is the organiser of the expo.
