Qatar Tourism hosted the Maruti Suzuki Dealer Conference 2023 in Doha, a three-day spectacle that celebrated the success and accomplishments of automobile dealers from around India. The Maruti Suzuki India Limited (MSIL) Group’s extensive operational tenure of 40 years in the industry significantly contributed to the importance of the event, transforming it into a momentous milestone celebration. The sprawling event saw 1200 dealers, alongside their families, celebrate at the Doha Exhibition and Convention Center (DECC), located in the heart of Doha’s business district, from May 3 – 6, 2023.
Chief Operating Officer of Qatar Tourism, Berthold Trenkel, said: “The Indian market plays a vital role in the realisation of Qatar Tourism’s ambitious objective to attract millions of foreign visitors annually, as outlined in the 2030 Tourism Strategy. Qatar is well-equipped to match the MICE sector’s growing demand and is ready to welcome large groups for meetings, exhibitions, and other significant gatherings. The country is a suitable and accessible base for MICE activities given its geographical location and level of preparedness. We are thrilled to have partnered with Maruti Suzuki India Limited in their endeavour to host one of their largest incentive crusades post the pandemic. This is a right step that corresponds with our goal of making Qatar an ideal destination for businesses from India and all over the world.”
Mr Philip Dickinson, VP International Markets, Qatar Tourism, said: “An outstanding selection of hotels, convention centres, excursions, and activities make Qatar a premium MICE destination. The compact nature of the Peninsula allows visitors to mix work with leisure and explore the country on business trips. We are delighted to have hosted the Maruti Suzuki Dealer Conference for their milestone celebration this year. We value the trust and confidence that corporates such as Maruti Suzuki place in the destination.”
Mr Shashank Srivastava, Senior Executive Officer, Marketing & Sales, Maruti Suzuki India Limited said, “After carefully considering all of our options, we were confident that Qatar would be the best fit for all of our requirements. The event was flawlessly executed. The Doha Exhibition and Convention Centre (DECC), a cutting-edge venue with state-of-the-art amenities and stunning architectural aesthetics, was an excellent choice. We received outstanding reviews from all of our dealer partners, and that is what matters most to us. We thank Qatar Tourism for all of their support to MSIL throughout the event journey and are confident that Qatar will see more such spectacular events and conferences from India. As a landmark event celebrating our dealers’ success and achievements, Qatar gave an all-around phenomenal experience with their gracious Qatari hospitality, infrastructure capability, excellent stay, and cultural activities.
