Doha, Qatar (November 19, 2009) – The Chairman of Qatar Tourism Authority (QTA) met with the new ambassador of the Republic of Korea at the Doha Exhibitions Center on Tuesday.

Also present at the meeting was Mr. Mohammad Al-Hafnawi, Legal Advisor of QTA and Mr. Koo Heonsang, First Secretary of the Korean Embassy in Qatar. Mr. Chang has been recently appointed ambassador to Qatar for the Republic of Korea.
Mr. Al Nuaimi discussed with Mr. Chang the continuation of bilateral cooperation on tourism between Qatar and Korea.

Today, Qatar and South Korea are already strong partners in trade, and given the synergies in our industrial and commercial sectors, there is potential for further development in other areas including tourism.” Mr. Al Nuaimi stated that Seoul will be one of the key cities on the Qatar Tourism Authority roadshow to Asia, which is being scheduled for early 2011.
Mr. Chang officially invited Mr. Al Nuaimi to participate in the 2011 UNWTO General Assembly in Seoul, the world’s largest international conference on tourism.
