Tourism Growth and its Impact on Qatar's Car Rental Market
According to Alpen Capital, Qatar wants the travel and tourism sector to contribute 12% of its gross domestic product to the country's GDP by 2030. Additionally, the country targets to have welcomed over 6 million tourists, due to the encouraging government programs and regular hosting of international events as part of its Tourism Strategy 2030. Furthermore, Qatar has a strong pipeline of hotel developments in progress to handle the increasing number of visitors. By the end of 2023, there were 36 active projects in Qatar, and 8,922 rooms were being built. The need to accommodate guests for the FIFA World Cup 2022, which began in November 2022, was a major factor in this development and increased demand for car rentals across the region. In addition, travelers look for easy and adaptable ways to learn about Qatar's many attractions, which range from contemporary entertainment centers to historical sites. Hence, the region's prospects for the car rental industry are further growing by the development in tourist arrivals. This rise demonstrates the mutually beneficial link between the growth of tourism and the car rental sector, emphasizing the latter as a key beneficiary of Qatar's tourist-focused economic initiatives.
Infrastructure Development in Qatar
Significant infrastructural developments, especially in major cities like Doha, are transforming the automobile rental industry in Qatar. Additionally, the easy accessibility and transportation within the country have been greatly improved by the creation of important infrastructure, such as Hamad International Airport. In addition, more tourists and business travelers are arriving due to the extended aircraft routes and upgraded airport amenities, which are escalating the demand for rental cars to enable smooth travel experiences. For instance, car rental services are available at Hamad International Airport (HIA) with a wide range of cars that include ordinary sedans and opulent high-end vehicles. A vast range of well-known vehicle rental providers are available to choose from, each providing a variety of brands, models, packages, and extra amenities to meet individual demands. Moreover, Al Muftah is Qatar’s first car rental company and one of the largest in the industry that has been awarded as the ‘best local brand’ car rental company of the region and its fleet ranges from economy sedans to luxury vehicles in additions to its commercial vehicle segment of pick up, buses, vans and trucks. These services cater to diverse customer needs, offering a range of vehicles and convenient rental options that appeal to both short-term visitors and long-term residents, thus benefiting the car rental market across the region.
This latest contract, spanning 16 new countries including UAE, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia, bolsters the company's global network and enhances operational efficiency as one of the fastest-growing car rental franchises worldwide.
