With the men’s football World Cup set to kick off in November, Travel Weekly has teamed up with Qatar Tourism to run a tournament sweepstake – with a fantastic prize up for grabs.
Update: Agents selected for Fifa World Cup Qatar 2022 Sweepstake
Qatar is getting ready to host the greatest show on Earth this winter, as the men’s football World Cup comes to the Middle East for the very first time.
And agents can get involved by taking part in an exciting sweepstake with the chance to win an exclusive holiday to Qatar including flights with Qatar Airways.
By completing Qatar-themed training modules, 32 lucky agents will each be assigned a team competing in the tournament.
With lots of social media events and special supporters’ goodie bags, they can cheer their adopted nation on throughout the competition until a champion is crowned, with the winning agent jetting off to Qatar to see all it has to offer.
The eyes of the world will be on the Gulf nation during November and December and, to prepare for this festival of football, it has built a series of new, architecturally stunning stadiums, with many situated close together so supporters can watch more than one match a day.
In addition, more than 100 new hotels have been built and the country has seen significant investment in its tourism sector and transport systems, including the Doha Metro.
Learn and win
This exciting competition, run in conjunction with Travel Weekly, is open to agents looking to sell Qatar as a destination.
To be entered into the sweepstake, agents must register and complete modules in the Qatar Specialist Programme.
For each module passed, agents will get one entry into the draw. On completion of the programme, an additional five entries will be awarded (maximum 15 entries per person).
Modules must be completed before November 3 to qualify. Thirty-two lucky agents will then be randomly selected to take part in the sweepstake.
Those who are not assigned a country in the sweepstake will still be eligible to win a place on a Qatar fam trip as part of a wildcard draw in each round of the World Cup.
For each of the five rounds, an agent in the draw will be selected at random to participate on a fam trip hosted by Qatar Tourism in 2023*.
The training programme covers 10 modules, designed to help agents sell more trips.
These include the key attractions in Doha, shopping, dining and entertainment, luxury breaks, and festivals and events.
There are also sections on ‘Qatar essentials’, tips for building itineraries, and lots of information on Qatar Airways and Hamad International Airport.
How to enter
Register, then complete modules on the Qatar Specialist training programme by November 3.
The more modules you complete, the more entries you get – 32 agents will then be randomly chosen to take part in the sweepstake.
Travel Weekly will assign each successful agent to a team playing in the World Cup through a draw on Facebook Live.
Follow your team through the tournament, whoever wins on December 18 will be treated to an exclusive holiday to Qatar including Qatar Airways flights.
