Doha: Qatar Tourism has launched the Arabic version of its “Visit Qatar” mobile application, which offers users a handy guide to the country’s offerings.
The new release furthermore introduces an integrated calendar of events, which allows users to explore events around Qatar and save them in a personal folder.
This part of the entity’s wider digital transformation strategy, which employs an innovative approach and utilises cutting edge technology to develop its digital platforms and establish itself as an industry leader.
This first-of-its-kind app uses cloud-based Adobe Experience Manager capabilities which use data to tailor experiences to users. Designed as a user-centric digital travel companion, the app is now available in Arabic as well as English, allowing those in and out of the country to explore Qatar’s diverse offerings, including its heritage sites, adventure, retail, and rich culinary scene, in addition to the events that will be taking place in the country.
The app offers 360-degree views of iconic sites around the country, allowing users to immerse themselves in a neighbourhood or view a site from the comfort of their own home. Users can use the map assistant to plan their stay, and enjoy personalised recommendations based on their preferences.
Berthold Trenkel from Qatar Tourism said: “The newly launched Arabic version of the Visit Qatar mobile app is an exciting addition to Qatar Tourism’s growing digital platforms. Whether resident in Qatar or considering it for a break, the VQ app offers a taste of the destination, with personalisation services, 360 views and an integrated events calendar. Qatar Tourism continues to collaborate with stakeholders to enhance the tourism experience in Qatar through utilising the latest technology, and offering innovative, inspired content to our audiences.”
