Qatar Tourism Authority (QTA) has signed up as official partner for the Aspire4Sport Conference & Expo, which will take place at Doha’s Aspire Dome from November 15 to 18.

Aspire4Sport is a combined congress and exhibition that will bring together all elements of the sporting world for four days of business, debate and entertainment.

The debut event will feature many sports associations, organizations, federations, brands and companies and expects to attract over 2000 delegates and visitors.

As per the partnership agreement, QTA will welcome sports fans and guests at the inaugural sports exhibition with a booth in the hospitality section.

Over the four-day event, there will be forums on many topics relevant to sports today – from media to medicine and education to bidding for major sports events.

Numerous sports personalities as well as some of the world’s best coaches will be at the event to answer questions and to give insight into their techniques.

“Sport has always played an important role in the lives of Qatar’s residents,” said Ahmed Al Nuaimi, chairman of QTA.

“Most of Qatar’s sporting venues are open to the public in an effort to encourage residents to adopt a healthy lifestyle through regular exercise. Sports has been identified as one of the key pillars of the tourism strategy for Qatar, he added.
