Doha, January 09 (QNA) – Qatar Tourism (QT) announced today that it will operate four commercial charter flights a week from two cities in Kazakhstan (Almaty and Astana) to Qatar via FlyArystan from January to March 2023.
Kazakhstan is one of 15 target markets identified by Qatar Tourism as a primary source for tourists looking to relax, rejuvenate and soak in Qatars vibrant culture. The commercial charter flights from Kazakhstan to Qatar are part of a travel package deal formed by Kazunion which include flights and beach side accommodation for travelers looking to explore Dohas rich arts, culture, and retail offerings.
Qatar Tourism’s 2030 strategy aims to increase the number of visitors to Qatar by threefold, increase spending by 3 to 4 times, and grow the GDP contribution of the tourism sector to 12 percent by 2030.

Celebrating this key milestone, Chief Operating Officer of Qatar Tourism, Berthold Trenkel, said: “We are delighted to partner with Kazunion to launch Qatars first commercial charter flights to and from Kazakhstan. Our agreement will help sustain the growth of Qatars tourism sector by promoting the country as a family-friendly, cosmopolitan, and culturally rich destination for travelers from Kazakhstan.”
