Residents and visitors have an opportunity to help choose this year’s Qatar Tourism Awards winners, with public voting open from 5 to 12 October 2026.

The fourth edition has shortlisted 276 nominees from more than 1,623 submissions, Qatar News Agency reported on 5 October. The entries span 35 subcategories within seven main categories.

Organised in collaboration with UN Tourism, the awards recognise people and organisations contributing to Qatar’s tourism sector. Winners are due to be honoured at a ceremony on 23 November 2026.

Qatar Tourism says the programme seeks to encourage service excellence, innovation and good practice across the industry, while recognising partners who help improve experiences for visitors and residents. The announcement concerns the shortlist and the opening of voting; this year’s winners have yet to be announced.
