Discover Qatar Incentives
If you’re looking for a truly memorable way to motivate and reward the top performers in your organisation, you need look no further than Qatar. The inVOYAGE team have been so impressed by Doha as a location for luxury incentive travel, that it has been selected as the location for the next global luxury incentives showcase in October 2022.
“Qatar is a growing hub hosting major international conferences, sporting and business events over the next couple of years” says Mr. Steven Reynolds, Senior Vice President of Discover Qatar. “An extensive tourism development strategy has seen the opening of new resorts, hotels, restaurants, sports stadia and a host of incentive experiences making it the perfect luxury incentive travel destination”.
With so many exciting incentive options available in Qatar, here is the pick of the best to pique your interest in this exciting destination.
EXPLORE SOUQS AND ARCHITECTURE
The ancient marketplace of Souq Waqif provides the perfect setting for a truly cultural shopping experience. Together with local guides, your high performers will explore the vibrant alleys while learning about Qatari culture and history.
They will be treated to a tour of the world’s first sustainable downtown regeneration project, Msheireb Downtown, where sustainable design meets commercial objectives resulting in a whole new architectural language. The fascinating region is also home to the Msheireb Museum celebrating the history of four historic heritage houses.
WHALE SHARKS OF QATAR
This incentive affords a rare opportunity to be a real explorer by visiting one of the world’s last undiscovered gems. The coastal waters of Qatar is home to one of the largest whale shark aggregations in the world, and visiting them is a true once-in-a-lifetime experience.
From Al Ruwais, your top team will be whisked away by catamaran to visit the whale sharks in their natural habitat. Local guides share with your guests their extensive knowledge on the lives and habits of these magnificent creatures including the research that is being done and the measures taken to protect the sharks.
ORGANIC FARMING AND SUNSET AT ZEKREET
For a truly community development focussed incentive a visit to Heenat Salma is a fascinating insight into how organic farming can thrive in a harsh desert environment. Your incentive group will be introduced to the holistic methods the initiative is dedicated to before being treated to a delicious, healthy lunch prepared by the on-site chefs using seasonal produce freshly picked from the farm’s kitchen-garden.
At Ras Abrouq Peninsula they will see the unusual rock formations and plateaus of this striking coastline followed by a chance to discover the massive monolithic environmental artwork by artist Richard Serra while taking in a magnificent sunset.
KAYAK THROUGH THE MANGROVES
Imagine immersing yourself in one of Qatar’s natural wonders by exploring Al Thakira Mangrove Forests in a kayak. During this unique experience your team will have a chance to see seasonal migratory birds such as herons and flamingos while paddling at a relaxed pace through one of Qatar’s oldest and largest forests.
In contrast to the desert landscape more commonly associated with Qatar, Al Thakira offers serene views and a fascinating glimpse of an intriguing ecosystem.
DUNE DRIVING
An adventurous off-road trip through the dramatic sand dunes is the perfect way to reward your top performers. The desert drive takes in the magnificent desert landscape and a visit to the towering Sheraton Dune before reaching Khor Al Adaid, a large tidal embayment where they will marvel at the azure waters of the Inland Arabian Sea.
Whichever incentives you choose for your team, you can be assured of a unique, rewarding and luxurious experience in Qatar.
