Doha, Qatar: In a bid to spotlight Qatar’s burgeoning culinary landscape, Qatar Tourism recently organised the Taste of Qatar Townhall, an event aimed at spotlighting the programme’s mission of positioning Qatar as a world-class culinary destination.

‘Taste of Qatar’, Qatar Tourism’s flagship restaurant rating programme, was launched earlier in the year in collaboration with the Qatar International Food Festival and in partnership with the global research company Ipsos and the Ministry of Public Health with the goal of enhancing the country’s food and beverage sector.

The townhall event united international specialists and local participants to promote outstanding dining experiences for residents and visitors alike.

Speaking to The Peninsula on the sidelines of the event, Director of PR & Communications at Visit Qatar, Jassim Al Mahmoud, described the initiative as a natural extension of the country’s tourism strategy and emphasised the programme’s core objective which is to motivate restaurants across Qatar to enhance their service standards and offerings.

“The reason behind this programme is to encourage the food and dining sector in Qatar to do their best to elevate their service level as well as to provide the best services for locals and for visitors,” he explained.
