QATAR

The Middle East continues to cement its place as a global force in luxury travel – and this is the event that puts you face-to-face with the region’s most influential luxury travel buyers.

From 11 October – 14 October 2026, we return to Doha, Qatar for our flagship Middle East gathering, uniting leading travel designers from across the GCC and India, alongside a select international mix, to meet global luxury travel brands through one-to-one meetings and immersive experiences.

Our programme will be hosted across some of Qatar’s most iconic venues and luxury properties. More details coming soon.

✈️ Why this market matters: Gulf travellers are among the highest spenders globally when it comes to luxury travel. In 2023 alone, outbound tourism from the GCC was worth over USD 76 billion, with Saudi Arabia accounting for nearly half that figure. With high-net-worth individuals across the region seeking longer stays, ultra-luxury experiences and bespoke service, the Middle East remains a powerful—and growing—market for global luxury travel brands.
