Under the patronage of H.E. Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani, Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs, H.E. Sheikh Saoud bin Abdulrahman bin Hassan Al Thani, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of State for Defence Affairs, honoured Visit Qatar with the “Excellence in Empowering Qatari Women Employees Award” at the inaugural Qatar Private Sector Nationalisation Award 2026.
The award was received by Eng. Abdulaziz Ali Al-Mawlawi, CEO of Visit Qatar, in the presence of H.E. Dr. Ali bin Samikh Al Marri, Minister of Labour, and H.E. Mr. Saad bin Ali Al-Kharji, Chairman of Qatar Tourism and Chairman of the Board of Directors of Visit Qatar, during a ceremony organised by the Ministry of Labour at the Qatar National Convention Centre.
This recognition reflects Visit Qatar’s efforts to support nationalisation programmes and empower Qatari women to play a pivotal role in the development of Qatar’s tourism sector, building on a sustained record of achievement and institutional excellence. Visit Qatar recently received the GCC-level award for Distinguished Companies in Job Replacement and Nationalisation, while Qatar Tourism was also honoured with the Qatar Government Excellence Award.
Qatar Tourism and Visit Qatar remain strategically committed to attracting and developing creative local talent, while fostering a supportive working environment. These efforts enable Qatari professionals to contribute effectively to enriching the visitor experience and driving the sustainable growth of Qatar’s tourism sector, in line with the objectives of Qatar National Vision 2030.
Launched under Amiri Decision No. (27) of 2025, the Qatar Private Sector Nationalisation Award aims to encourage positive competition among private sector establishments in job nationalisation. It recognises establishments that have met nationalisation targets and demonstrated successful approaches to attracting and developing national talent. It also honours outstanding national talent working in the private sector, contributing to a diversified and competitive national economy.
