Almost 5,000 hotel rooms to be added before the FIFA World Cup There have been growing concerns over accommodation prices and its availability in the country. Hotels in Qatar are expected to add around 5,000 rooms before the start of the FIFA 2022 World Cup, according to a report released by real estate consultancy firm Cushman & Wakefield. The number of hotel and serviced apartment rooms is anticipated to expand to 45,000 before the World Cup with this additional development. Cushman & Wakefield also anticipated a considerable increase in tourism from international markets over the next five years in their report. Some of it is also credited to the return of the Saudi market of tourists.

According to data from the Planning and Statistics Authority, hotels of all classifications, from five stars to two and one stars, have seen increases in occupancy rates and revenue per available room. At the end of last year, there were roughly 30,000 hotel rooms available. Even after the World Cup, the hospitality industry will continue to grow. The overall supply of hotel rooms is predicted to reach 50,000 by 2026, according to the estimate. “Qatar’s hotel room supply reached 29,386 by year-end 2021, which reflects a 6% compound average growth rate per annum since 2015. By 2026, the overall supply of hotel keys is expected to reach 50,000,” noted the report.
